Sad to read the Nissan won’t be racing at Silverstone or Spa. Was looking forward to going to see that beastie in action.
I guess their abrupt withdrawal from the recent Sebring test was a bit of a warning sign. At least they’re refreshingly open that it’s failed a crash test (whatever a “front roll-hoop” is – something you need when your engine’s at the front?) and crucially they’ll be at Le Mans in numbers, with three cars – something Toyota was lacking in their promising debut there 3 years ago.
I do wonder if the car might be a bit of a Le Mans special, i.e. one that suits the particular high-speed nature of La Sarthe but not so much the other circuits on the WEC calendar. But even so you’d think they’d try to run at Spa if they could as a next best thing to being at Le Mans.
Oh no! That’s absolutely gutting. My girlfriend and I were so legitimately looking forward to watching Max Chilton and the Nissan guys racing at Silverstone next month and I’m not even joking.
