Nissan/NISMO bowing out?
Jalopnik had some rather grim news today: It seems that Nissan and NISMO are pulling out of American motorsports events. According to Jalopnik, Nissan will not be participating or sponsoring any motorsports events in America for 2008.
"According to Scott Vazin, Director of Product Communications for Nissan Motor Company, though they're getting out for [Fiscal Year] 2008, 'we'll keep a presence around the world.' Vazin went on to say 'It's not all or nothing, we're certainly reviewing it against a larger motorsports strategy, but for 2008 we're taking a pause.' He wouldn't give a reason for doing so, other than saying they're working on strategy, but he did deny that it was at all a financial decision."
Indeed with the coming the GT-R, it seems quite odd that Nissan and NISMO would pull out of American motorsports.
