Company vice-president Carlos Tavares, whose remit includes motorsport, revealed that Nissan had "some interesting ideas for the future" and that it had entered into a dialogue with DTM organiser the ITR.

His comments suggest that Nissan could be the Japanese manufacturer touted to join the series by the ITR when new rules come on stream in 2012.

Errm.. "Allowed"...

I don't think DTM has discriminated because of nationality... this is about building race cars to regs!

As a fan of Audi racing, I gotta tell you that with only MB as a rival (participant) it was less than compelling--even with the great cars and drivers. BMW's participation, and now Nissan, will make this a fun series for German and Japanese blowhards alike. I look forward to this.
