Come on mate. I know it's a real tough day and a body blow for the forum pessimists but they've just confirmed a full WEC programme.

Well they say it's going to look different to its rivals. So we instantly know it won't be white.

Presume they're going to try to make it look a bit like a GTR as well...

They are probably more Lemans ready than the Lotus was

2014 is going to be great in LMP1 and 2015 is shaping up to be even better! :-)

So this is just the announcement that they are going to at Le Mans with a P1? No photo/drawing of the car?

No reveal of the car. Wouldn't expect it either.

Some style cues from the road car would be welcome. Even if it's just a grille and the rear lights.


I've been calling Nissan out for a while, essentially asking for them to step up and do what they've done today. They've not revealed a lot of detail today but I like the way they are talking with regards to racing to win, and really taking the fight to the top teams.

I can see why their PR lines grate on some people but they should be applauded for taking this step up. They will do a lot of good for the championship.

I thought they did reveal the car, the bottom image on the picture above is what it will look like. It will be a very innovative design, raced with a sheet over it the whole time.

This will come back and haunt them and bite them for a long long time if the car doesn't deliver....

I think it'll deliver 9maybe not in the 1st year though), and if it looks striking and has a iconic livery then it will surely go down well and be remembered!
