Mopar should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Well, this is a little serious as the Gigawave team didnt just run the cars, they also were the Europe, Middle East and American concession of Nismo Motorsport so were charge with selling the GT-R GT1 and it's associated spares. I have no doubt that Nissan will find someone else to do this task and there already are 2 GT-R GT1s destine for Swiss Racing. But still, cant be good for the GT1 championship

The Gigawave car is owned by Nissan so we might still see a "factory" team car race in the FIA GTs. Lets face it, it sounds like GT1 cars a thin on the ground so the SRO are pretty much going to allow Nismo to run a factory car.

I know the GT-R is the Halo car for Nissan but i always felt that time and developement would have been better suited to developing a GT2 spec 370z. The GT-Rs both in SuperGT and GT1 bare little resemblance to the road going car hell they dont even use the same engine!
