Nissan NISMO Didn't Win Le Mans, But They Will Make 2016 Awesome - Torque News
After Ferrari left the field, Audi and Porsche have dominated Le Mans. Nissan, who hadn't been in Le Mans in years, let alone in the top-level P1 class, made their return this year and for race fans, it was an emotional mix of "underdog gotta do it. " and failure. The team accomplished something remarkable just by finishing the race with one of their cars. The NISMO team at Le Mans had only been running their cars for a few months. The team itself hadn't even been involved in the P1 class for a year when the cars entered the track and began their runs. Especially for a new team with a new car that isn't based on anything else out on the circuit. Just the difference between the qualifying rounds and the actual race showed how fast the NISMO team can make improvements and how quickly their drivers can adapt. One of the Nissan race team's greatest assets is that their drivers are not locked into one type of racing. Instead, they have drivers that tend to run the gamut, competing in several different race types during a single season. NISMO loves trading drivers around to both its own and its factory-sponsored third-party teams. It also means that their drivers are adaptable and quickly learn new ways of racing.
