Indeed. I think he said WEC right after Super GT and meant this season, then Le Mans, 2014 and G56.

edit: then again could simply mean the LMP2 engines...

A big publicity stunt to announce a garage 56 project, a huge publicity stunt in itself.

My exact thoughts right now at 1.20am

Heard enough of these prolonged advertorials with Darren Cox at Le Mans.

Agreed. Nissan has used up their patience budget for this kind of stuff imo, at one point you actually have to go racing.

Well Darren Cox is stating that this is an exercise to evaluate using this technology working in a real LMP1... they want to go racing with this... in future... sometime. Pure electric cars at LM... hmm, full sized slot cars. If it doesn't work, they'll try something else. Don't want to go racing with a standard engine.

DC just said they are evaluating a return to LMP1. Hope they stick to that and aren't just dangling the carrot so they can continue to soak up these headlines.

Doesn't seem too difficult to gain a G56 nod from the ACO. They probably ripped Nissan's arm off.

All hail Toyota, they actually have the balls to face Audi.

Darren Cox just mentioned its a stepping stone on the way to Nissan returning to LMP1. This car is being used to test the technology to see if its a viable option in LMP1.

NISMO - NIssan Slotcar MOtorsports. ;-)

Ok, so "if" it can work, they "might" race it. I'm still not a big fan. I guess it is big news, it just isn't interesting to me news. Still a PR stunt.

It seems NISMO has made a habit of doing oddball things. Wish they'd just run a GTE GT-R, or standard LMP1.

So the car that was under wraps, was it relevant to the G56 announcement?
