Takao Katagiri, head of Nissan’s Motorsports Business Unit and president of NMC, said: “This year, Nissan teams won the series championships in both the GT500 and GT300 classes of the SUPER GT. We are grateful to all of our fans who gave their strong support throughout the year. The entire team hopes to share this joy with everyone at the NISMO Festival. In addition, we have prepared a number of other events to make the 23rd festival even more exciting. We hope you will come and enjoy the NISMO brand to the fullest.”
The Nissan Z GT4* — which is gaining global attention — and other Z race cars from Japan and abroad will also be on display and perform demonstration runs. In addition, a memorial exhibition and other events will take place to commemorate racing legend Kunimitsu Takahashi, who achieved many brilliant results for Nissan.
