Intriguing - Could it possibly be the worst kept secret, that Nissan are to return to Le Mans with a works team???

 Grin Grin Grin

Judging by their engine involvement in LMP2 this year.......................................

Nissan powers all but four of the nineteen (roughly 80%) of the LM P2 grid, plus the 'Garage 56' entry, so it doesn't stretch the imagination too much to suppose they might make a return to the top proto class.

Didn't they already make a statement about a return to LMP1 in 2015 ?

So the announcement is an LMP1 version of their GTR race car for 2015 - LM and WEC.

No images yet.

Will be interesting to see how close an LMP1 car can be to the original GTR road car heritage. Cheesy

Probably... nothing but the name and branding.
