Sustainable Nissan race cars to perform demo runs at 24th Nismo Festival

MANILA: Nissan Motor Corporation and Nissan Motorsports and Customizing Corporation (NMC) will be staging the 24th Nismo Festival at Fuji Speedway in Japan on December 3.

This year, the theme of the festival is “the challenge for sustainable motorsports utilizing electrification technology and carbon neutral fuel.” Nissan’s Formula E race car will do a demonstration run at the event ahead of the Formula E World Championship, which will happen in Tokyo in March 2024. There will also be demonstration runs for the carbon-neutral-fuel-powered Super GT Nissan Z GT500 and the Leaf Nismo RC.

A special activity that highlights the history of Skylines in motorsports will also be conducted in the festival. It will feature the Group 5 specification Skyline and the Group A specification R32 Skyline GT-R.

Furthermore, spectators will be able to get up close and personal with the drivers and teams in designated areas of the paddocks and pits, while talk shows will be held in the grandstand area.

“This year's Nismo Festival will resume the pre-pandemic tradition of giving fans opportunities to interact with drivers and teams, with activities such as race car taxi rides, a circuit safari, and experiences for kids... The festival promises to make fans look forward to the future of Nismo,” NMC President Takao Katagiri stated.

The 24th Nismo Festival will be livestreamed at the official Nismo Youtube channel.
