Nissan Learns Innovation Can Hurt After GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans Racer Fails Crash Test
Earlier this week, news broke that Nissan’s radical front-engined GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans racer had encountered development woes, forcing the withdrawal from the opening two rounds of the 2015 World Endurance Championship. Nissan has refused to deny comments it's failed a crash test.
It’s an inconvenient setback for the forward-thinking, forward-driven design, but not the end of the world, the company insists. While it will forego the first official WEC test and the curtain-opening races at Silverstone and Spa, it’ll still be ready for the all-important Le Mans 24 Hours in June. And after all, that’s the race that matters.
