I'm STILL lamenting the GTR being withdrawn because it NEVER got to fully develop. What was at Le-mans last year was just an unfinished model.
I KNEW Nissan would have teething problems coming out the gate but like a fool, I was hoping they would keep at it and maybe we could get some results. Maybe not Le-Mans winning but something of a serious contender.
Then they pulled out...
Now...this, besides how it's a 'what if' does make me wonder what if they did resort to this? Granted if they were even successful, I can still picture people saying 'See, FWDs NEVER work, Why even TRY?!'...
It never had a chance to actually develop in actual racing, and that's sad.
My bitching aside, this is a very nice piece and, does make me wonder.
And still leaves me bitter because racing sometimes is about doing things outside the box with some chance of success, and Nissan just...backed out. I can understand why but I'm not going to accept it with a shit eating grin.
I'd call them the Konami of car companies but that's rather much and now I'm really rambling so I'll end this now.

Nissan hasn't considered bringing this to Tsukuba Circuit for testing, and this is a big loss.
FWD cars provide great grip but traction are still a fatal flaw.

I hope so! If not, we'll make them do it!

It sucked because its equipment were not working as fully as intended, probably because of its rushed development. Now that blame should be put on Ghosn's head.
