The Porsche was in development for 2 years and was fast in its first season even if not quite capable of challenging Toyota until later in the season, compare that to Nissan which I'm going to guess has a hell of a lot less budget than Porsche, has a completely unproven concept, a lot of trouble in development and it its first race was fast in a straight line but was holding up GTE-Am cars through the corners, we've heard they've improved a lot but given their history it's not unreasonable to not expect much from them.
Still with the fact that they are apparently not going to be running the hybrid until well into next year I'm going to be extremely optimistic and say Le Mans + post LM races, maybe Spa if they somehow manage to be absolutely on top of their game.
