So they decided on a wing in the end? I heard thoughts of no rear wing.

Just finished listening to the RLM interview with Darren Cox; a lot of good information about the project. I'm sure they'll have it as a podcast soon.
Podcast is up & I've just finished listening - certainly an interesting hour and looks to be a series. linky: http://audio.rpix.org.uk/2015/features/2015_rtlm_0...

Oh i totally get that - it's the nismo colours.

I just think it's slightly sad that we have the black and white porsche, black red and white audi, and black red and white nissan.

Back in the day, the colours were less corporate and more sponsor. I want the tic tac porsche back, or the renown mazda, the silk cut jag.

Sadly, i know that era is gone - but at least the red livery was obvious from distance at twighlight - OK red belongs to rebellion, but they're not likely to be running together. The day they make one in the kamikaze flag pattern i'll be appeased forever, in the meantime there's always 33c and Kanterbrau smile

It's only my take on how it would look. The car will run dark red all year. I just thought that was a dull effort!

It could be poo brown or Essex pink for all I care. LMP1 2015 = bliss.

Wow!

Really want Toyota to win it this year, but loving Nissan's "we're gonna do it like this" attitude.

Yeh, very keen to help out. They're trying to get people involved where they can and they certainly recognise stuff like this is good for them too!

So, presumably Nismo are reading this thread?

Dear Nismo - please do car 3 in full Kamikaze regalia. For added points, get Takuma Sato to pick the next GT academy winners to drive the car by judging Wipeout3. If one of them happens to be Maldonado, even better =)

Dear Nismo - I second that. Furthermore, please can I have a job? I'm pretty good at messing about on a Moog synth and I'm very good at drinking gin.
