2023 Nissan Motorsports Customer Support

So, what does Nissan have in-store for its motorsports division in 2023? The brand will once again be competing in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and the Super GT GT500. Adding to its list of competitions, however, the NISMO Racing Division will begin a customer racing program as well.

This new program will provide technical support for competitive drivers of the Nissan Z GT4. This isn’t a completely new program, as they have previously done the same for customer teams driving the GT-R NISMO GT3, as well as other Nissan models. For those who are part of customer racing teams, or who are interested, the customer racing program classes are as follows.

• Super GT GT500
• Super GT GT300
• Super Taikyu Series
• Nissan Mechanic Challenge
• Pirelli GT4 America Championship
• Super Taikyu Series

Nissan Motorsports is also involved with a number of engine supply programs. Engine supply and technical support will be available for such prestigious races as the European Le Mans Series and Rolex 24 at Daytona.

There is no doubt a lot of excitement happening in the world of Nissan Motorsports this year. If you’d like to get a small taste of it for yourself, consider test driving a production model by contacting the auto experts here at Nissan of Auburn.
