Nissan recently announced that it will be participating in one of the toughest races on the Blancpain Endurance Series. On July 25^th and 26^th, Nissan will compete at Spa-Francorchamps PRO class for the first time in 2015 with the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3. Alex Buncombe, Katsumasa Chiyo and Wolfgang Reip will be competing for a top spot at the end of the race. In a recent interview, Reip said: “As always I will push hard to get the best possible result, remembering that anything can happen in 24 hours. I love this track. I know it better than any other circuit, and having the support of my friends and the Belgian people gives me great motivation. I had a practive run in the 25-hour Fun Cup race last weekend. The car was nothing like the GT-R, but I drove for almost 10 hours in a lot of traffic, so it has really helped me to prepare for the Spa 24 Hours.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Nissan Motorsports revealed that the Nissan driver had a strong overall day and raced amongst the leading group for the entire distance. Kelly finished the race in 10^th place. In a post-race interview, Kelly said: “I was happy to be seventh in qualifying and then eighth in the shoot-out, and the car was very good on the soft tires. Unfortunately, it wasn’t so great on the hard tires, so in the middle stint. I had to play around with the bars and couldn’t get a balance. I lost quite a few spots in the stint.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Stuntman, Terry Grant, has broken his own world record for the fastest mile traveled on two wheels in a four-wheeled vehicle and he managed to do it in a Nissan JUKE, the NISMO RS. Although Grant had six attempts at traveling thorugh the famous Goodwood hillclimb course to beat the record, he was able to break his record on the first try. “I was shocked at how much faster the JUKE NISMO RS was, and to take 45 seconds off what was already a quick time, was unbelievable,” said Grant. To break it by so much on my first attempt was a great way to kick off the weekend, and I’m looking forward to seeing if I can go faster.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
