Two Nissan GT Academy Students to Race in the Blancpain Endurance Series

 

Nissan has selected two new winners of the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy and they are on their way to racing a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 in the Blancpain Endurance Series. Winners, Gaetan Paletou, from France and Ricardo Sanchez, from Mexico were selected as the winners of the European and International GT Academy competitions last year and have dominated Nissan’s development program and competitions. The two young men will now take on one of the world’s toughest GT racing competitions. “I still find it hard to believe what is happening in my life,” said Sanchez. “Every time I think about it I smile as this has always been my dream. The hard work really starts now though. Monza is a very fast track with a lot of history, so I feel proud to have the opportunity to race the GT-R there. I want to do the best job I can for Nissan and bring home a great result!” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

In a recent interview, he said: “I’m honored to have been asked to join a manufacturer as prestigious as Nissan in a championship that is growing year on year. Le Mans has always had an amazing following, and to be racing there as a works driver is a dream come true.  My aim has always been to race at the highest level, and the technology that has gone into the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO is as impressive as a Formula 1 car.  Having met with the team and seen first-hand the dedication and desire to win that exists within this project, I can’t wait to get on track.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Nissan to Advertise in Super Bowl XLIX


Nissan announced that it will not release Super Bowl commercial teasers but instead will run a very unique campaign leading up to the Super Bowl XLIX. This will be the first time the Japanese automaker will advertise during the big game in nearly two years. Nissan’s pre-game campaign focuses on the journey that only dads, but also moms and children, face in trying to make family a priority while striving to balance work. “After nearly a two-decade absence from the Super Bowl as an advertiser, we want to maintain the excitement and anticipation of game day. With so many commercials airing before the big game, I fundamentally believe it takes away much of the magic of showing the commercial on the biggest stage of the year.  Prior to the Super Bowl, we do however want to build suspense around our story, while provoking a social conversation around the overarching theme. Our highly creative YouTube content creators help us do just that as we get ready to share our spot with America on Super Bowl Sunday,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations U.S., Nissan North America, Inc.

Nissan Showcases New Titan Pickup at the Detroit Auto Show

 

The new Nissan TITAN recently made its global debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where it made its official global debut. The automaker believes that this is the perfect time for the new Titan model to flourish since the truck segment has sold more than two million full-size pickups in the United States each year. Carlos Ghosn, President and CEO, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., said: “We see opportunity – opportunity in the unmet needs of today’s American truck customers. Until now, if you wanted a V8 diesel, you simply didn’t have an option. Each year, 75,000 U,S, buyers move up from light duty to heavy duty pickups. However, just as many people move the other way. That’s 150,000 owners who are struggling to find the right work truck. With the 2016 Nissan Titan, we were just not going for best in class. We really are creating a new class and positioning ourselves as the best offer.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
