Or should we be more lateral and see this as an indication that the team will be set up as a religion, which probably opens up new lines of funding?

So is this the first time we've seen the words "LMP1" and "2015" together on an official Nissan press release?

Sort of, but still not enough. "Planned" = not officially announced/confirmed.

I might be blind but where do I find this? That would make for an interesting engine I think.

That engine is, wow, too light to be true, which really shows how far light-weight advantage of petrol engine can go to.

There's an illustration/mockup of a Nissan LMP1 car in the Japanese Auto Sport magazine:
http://www.as-books.jp/books/info.php?no=AST20140214 (click the book icon to preview, pages 32 and 33).

Preview screenshots:

This magazine looks awesome through and through, by the way. Reminds me of the old Le Mans Series & Sportscar Racer magazine.

Thats an old photoshop of a 'coupe' version of Alpine's lmp2 with a different livery. Cool find though.

And the Alpine is just an Oreca 03-Nissan with a different badge on it. It even uses the same Nissan VK 45 ex-Super GT engine that most of the LMP2 field now uses.

Same thing as Morgan putting their name on the LMP2 version of the OAK Pescarolo 01 cars.

But considering that this is about Nissan here, would Nissan build their own cars, or get into an engine supply deal like they have in LMP2 in so far as that they'd use a customer chassis to at least get started (sort of like what AMR/Prodrive tired to do with Lola)?

Here's hoping Dome will be in that picture - but that has been discussed a lot in the Dome thread.
(and be careful to mention the Lola/AMR thing, you might cause a larger off topic debate )

It’s rumored that Nissan’s LMP1 program for 2015 could be announced during the opening round of the FIA WEC in Silverstone later this month. Further details on the manufacturer’s Garage 56 effort with the ZEOD RC could also be revealed at that time.
http://sportscar365.com/lemans/elms/...sday-notebook/

Fingers crossed.

Notice how after bombarding us with press releases about every little thing regarding the ZEOD, Nissan has been awfully silent lately? One has to begin to wonder if the Panoz lawsuit has legs? I would not be surprised if their G56 entry goes away and they spin it as a decision to allocate all resources towards getting fully ready for 2015.

Probably just concentrating on tests rather than pr. I doubt theyll drop the zeod from this year's race. We should have heard about it by now.
