As suggested by his addition to the FIA driver rankings, Emerson Fittapaldi will return to driving in the WEC at Sao Paulo, in the #62 Ferrari.

With the greatest respect for Emerson, nowadays he looks so much better with a helmet on :D

Oh lawd...
 
And the end of a legendary career, hopefully he has a good retirement.
 
What is it literally like a GT car on a LMP1 tub or something? :lol:

I'm back to make one comment about the Nissan LMP1 program for next year:

Yeah, take everything you think you know about LMP1, and throw it out the window. That about sums it up.

I understand you have a job to keep and all, though. S'cool. Did you recognize the test pilot?

Come to think of it, the last iteration of the JAF GT500 spec GT-R's were pretty prototype-like...

PM incoming. ;)
 
Make room for one more GT-Resque race car. During that test this passed Tuesday in Aridzona, any GTAcademy drivers show up?

We definitely should be getting word and spy pics shortly.
 
Honestly from the "teaser" earlier of the car under a tarp maybe it will be a crazily modified GT-R.

All spies on deck! Capture the Nissan GT-R LMP1-H car! :P
 
Considering it's at the Nissan test facility which is fenced off, good luck with that. :p
 
I think it's going to have a swivel seat and spare driver in the back for quick driver changes. A la The Empire Strikes Back.

Seriously, though- watch this space, I'm not playin'.

Nah, seriously. Can't wait to see it.
 
Autosport reporting Michael Krumm was the sole pilot of Nissan's lmp1 during their roll out. The rumored first test is in the 2nd week of December at Sebring! Bring your cameras guys!

In other lmp1 news, Mike Conway is in for Kaz Nakajima at Brazil because visa issues for the Japanese driver.
 
On the P1 Nissan; Michelin has confirmed that they supply the very odd tyres for the Nissan.
 
Yeah there's been a Michelin truck out here the whole time.
 
Just posting this photo again...

Am I still the only person intrigued by the cockpit placement?
 
Yeah, what in the world is going on there? Is it a car you lay in?
 
It looks oddly shaped, and on the far right hand side...
 
The cockpit looks like its in the middle to me. The shadow is throwing it off.
 
Well, thank you @R1600Turbo. LMP1 2015 is going to be amazing.
 
But thats confirmed to be just a mock up, not the actual car. But maybe there are hints.
 
I don't see anything odd at all under that wrap. It looks like a mid engined, open top p1 car.
I suspect that that wrap i bogus.
I also suspect that we will see a front wheel driven LMP1 car for the first time. One that is wider in the front than the rear, with rear wheels driven by electricity above 120kph. Sort of an R18 turned backwards. Oh, front engined too.
