The Sydney driver was originally slated to run as #10 this season but the squad has elected to run Nissan’s official factory number on his new NISMO liveried Nissan Altima V8 Supercar.
‘Two’ in Japanese is pronounced as ‘ni’ and ‘three’ as ‘san’, making ‘Ni – San’ (twenty three) the favoured racing number for Nissan and NISMO globally.
The #23 is set to be used by Nissan’s new GT-R LM NISMO LMP1 prototype in the FIA World Endurance Championship alongside the factory’s GT3 and Super GT squads.
