It's Official - Nissan quits World Endurance Championship

It was confirmed on Tuesday (22/12/15), that Nissan has axed its LMP1 programme with immediate effect and withdrawn from next year's World Endurance Championship.



A statement from Nissan stated that it had been concluded that the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo programme "would not be able to reach its ambitions".

It stated that it had "worked diligently to bring the vehicle up to the desired performance level".

The latest decision follows its withdrawal from the second half of this season's WEC after the cars disastrous debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Mid-June.

In my opinion, not a major surprise this has happen as I said in a previous post, that my guess they may pull out of the series after missing the second half of the WEC season. Now with Nissan withdrawing from the WEC, that leaves only Porsche, Audi and Toyota as the only manufactures in LMP1 class next season.

End of blog for now. New post soon. Bye.
