Nissan and Nismo begin Super GT championship defense
YOKOHAMA, JAPAN – NISMO has triumphed in four of the past five Super GT GT500 championship battles and now Nissan has its sights set on repeating its winning ways when the 2016 championship kicks off this weekend in Okayama, Japan. Last year's championship victory by Tsugio Matsuda and Ronnie Quintarelli was their second consecutive title win and Quintarelli's fourth in total (he won with Masataka Yanagida in 2011 and 2012). The GT-R has now claimed the Super GT GT500 crown on five occasions but 2016 was the first in Super GT GT300 for the GT-R. Nissan previously claimed the GT300 title in 2008 and 2010 with the Nissan Fairlady Z Z33.
