I really hope they can match up with Peugeot, Audi and Porsche
They had a photo shoot at COTA??? They definitely kept that under wraps, there wasn't a peep about it around town

Well they filtered the pics to Jalopnik, they say it was Nissan themselves who did it (first grainy, then better quality higher resolution ones) to build up the expectation.
In any case, Le Mans can't come soon enough this year...
Looking forward to seeing it race, but I hope it doesn't do well. Every dumb-dumb with a FWD car will believe their car is a race car even more.

That's not the spirit of racing though...?
Nothing wrong with trying something different. It's not really advertised as a FWD car, it's still to some extent AWD. It's really just the reverse of what Audi's been doing.
Some good read:

Jann and Lucas from GT Academy will be driving this. How freaking cool is that?!
I am skeptical that this very atypical approach will work for Nissan, but at least there's diversity in P1!
Marc Gené will also be in one of the works Nissans.
