Post Enter the Rumormill: Nissan GT-R may compete in Grand Am series

Filed under: Motorsports, Supercars, Nissan

The Nissan GT-R GT500 race car from Japan's Super GT series.

A brief blurb over at GT Channel revealed a rumor we hope would come true. According to the site's sources, Nissan may be considering campaigning a GT-R in the U.S.-based Grand Am series. If it were to come to fruition, we'd expect the GT-R to be mixing it up in the GT Class with Porsche GT3s, BMW M3s, Corvettes and Ferraris. With a slightly detuned engine (power is limited to 450 hp) and a serious diet, we think a GT-R campaign could up the ante on what is arguable one of the most exciting motorsports events around.

I'd actually much rather see it race in the ALMS, much higher profile series. The problem though is that GT1 rules don't allow 4-Wheel drive and GT2 restricts the size of turbo motors.

Would love to see them start racing nonetheless.
