Surprised about how much volume is coming out of that 3cyl engine - and how...well...pleasant it sounds.

I don't know when I've seen a car with the driver's feet that far behind the front wheel axle line!

On the other hand, doesn't it seem like all the stuff that really makes the car go takes up a lot less space than normal?

Putting their name on other peoples work, for a bit of cash.

Yep definitely interesting.

I don't in all honesty think that they will partner with Onroak to build the car, but they might be able to use Oak operationally. There's a lot of great people and knowledge there. Similar to what Toyota have done with Oreca.

Another thing I was wondering this year was where will Nissan put their young drivers in terms of P2? In previous years we've seen official partner teams like Greaves and G-Drive. I'd have thought this year they'd be keen to give their guys more experience with the P1 coming up.

With him being a silver driver I'd expect Schulzhitskiy to be confirmed for Le Mans. Alongside Brundle (who has links with Nissan) and Yacaman that's a great line-up.

Wouldn't this go in the Nissan P1 thread?

In the past, a lot of Nissan's Le Mans efforts have bought in the chassis design from outside- IIRC the Group C cars were March or Lola, the R390 GT1 car was TWR, the R391 at the end of the 90's was done by G-Force, with some input from Courage, and of course the DeltaWing was Bowlby/AAR around an Aston AMR-One tub .

On the other hand, (and slightly back on topic for this thread), with the ZEOD-RC, they've now got Bowlby on board, which suggests they might be looking at an 'in-house' LMP1 chassis- although I still wouldn't be that surprised to see Onroak brought in as a contractor to at least build the tubs (who's doing the ZEOD- Is it an 'in-house NISMO build, RML, or have they farmed the job out elsewhere?) etc, and maybe put in some operational support like the Toyota/Oreca deal.

Someone on Twitter just asked Darren Cox what was going on between Oak and Nissan.

The response: https://twitter.com/IamDarrenCox/sta...08140348858368

"announcement on Monday... Not P2 related though."

There is a whole thread devoted to the Nissan 'Will they or won't they P1?' stuff. Could that stuff stay there and this thread be about G56?

The ZEOD chassis is being build by ADDESS.

Pandemonium has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
ADESS seems to be a pretty amazing company. Hope they get their LMP2 chassis on track!!

2015 announcement on Friday. Anything less than an LMP1 program announcement will be a disappointment after the 12+ months of constant hype. Fingers crossed.
