Nissan says goodbye to its ambitions in the WEC

Nissan has refused participation in endurance racing.

In the season of 2016 in the world championship endurance race Nissan will not participate. This decision executives came after a season-2015. On the «24 Hours of Le Mans», the company put three of its cars — front-wheel drive sport prototype perednemotorny GT-R LM Nismo, but the result is disappointing. 1200-strong hybrid installation based on the twin-turbo petrol «six» expectations were not met.

In the marathon, the finish line got only one vehicle out of three, and finished in last place overall, it was separated from the winner 153 range.

«All members of the team tirelessly labored to bring the sports car to the desired level. However, the company decided that the program would not be able to achieve the ambitious goals that were set initially decided to focus on developing long-term strategies for the race, „- said in a communique Nissan.

Recall earlier in 1999, the brand undertook a similar attempt. Then one of the two cars was in eighth place, while the second suffered a sad fate — he was not able to reach the finish.
