So no Lotus at Le Mans. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/114024

Really disappointed although I am not very surprised to be honest. It makes me wonder though if the privateer LMP1 class does have any sense at all.

Does that mean Le Mans will have less than 55 this year? I thought I read somewhere that said that there were no more reserve entries

No, one of the two Delta-ADR (Millenium Racing) Oreca's has made it back in which presumably means the funding issues have finally been solved.

I approve of the livery.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Jamaica?

 

[cnd01]

One of the better looking LMP2 cars there. I can't wait for the fins to get off those cars though

Ya mon!?

That is an interesting livery. Not sure if its Jamaican themed or someone had a case of Benetton nostalgia (just a bit).

They probably got sponsorship from the ACO so that the announcers wouldn't have to constantly say "And there's the Nissan ZEOD that's been entered in the Garage 56 category... though there's only 55 cars entered this year."

Don't blame them honestly

Pretty cool graphic of the build of the Zeod.

[Brutaka]

Yay, more bday announcements!

Is it going to be their LMP1 challenger? If so It feels kinda earl to release it.

Sadly, I'll be at work when they make their announcment.

@ProjectWHaT: fingers crossed for their LMP1 announcement next year, 2015. 👍

 

[MHPALA]

R400 or R392? Sorry, stuck in dream land. I hope they use this nomenclature with their LMP1. Keep Sakurai's legacy going.

 

[G.T.Ace]

I'm going to scream like a little girl if it's their LMP1.

Well we know it's coming at some point, so you have all the reason to do so, but if tomorrow (for me at least) then it would be pretty cool.

Video or it never happened

 

[ProjectWHaT]

It's a LMP1

 

[Solo]

So it's going to be called: Nissan GT-R LM NISMO. And provided a different approach to LMP1 to the already existing competitors. Next year is looking good!

 

[G.T.Ace]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
