When DTM and the Japanese Super GT circuits merged late last year, we knew changes were coming soon. Well, shortly after the merger, the two racing circuits announced the Super GT would inherit the stricter, yet safer and more cost efficient, rules from the German DTM. This merging of rules also give birth to two things: inter-series races and new racecars for 2014.
One of the more important models in the Super GT circuit is the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT500. And like all other Super GT racers, the GT-R Nismo GT500 will be mechanically and aerodynamically new for 2014. Unfortunately, Nissan has yet to release all of the changes made to the new GT-R GT500 but it did mention that its changes will be similar to those made in DTM, less the engine regulations. These changes include things like a common carbon-fiber monocoque, a modified front splitter, floor, rear diffuser and rear wing, suspension mounting and standardized aerodynamics.
Nissan will outline all of the changes to the GT-R GT500 at a later date and we’ll let you know about them ASAP.
