If I rememberr correctly none of the GT-R's ever even finished a race at LeMans let alone win anything. Yet the car is almost untouchable in RR3. Beats the heck ouf of me. Yep, the car was massive failure. In fact their fastest lap was 3:39 around La Sarthe, the best time in any of the three Nissan LMP1s. At the same time literally every single other LMP1 was consistent around 3:20/lap and André Lotterer has set the record-breaking in-race lap time of 3:17.475.

The GT-R LM Nismo was slow everywhere - on straight, in turns especially on curbs (who would've thought with that extreme front bias and that fiasco of suspension geometry 🙄), their braking was unbelievably poor, they were eating tires like crazy (again, shocker shocker)... All in all, it was barely controllable because they went polar opposite of competition-proven development and made that flop of a car. I mean, front-wheel drive... right. That was set to fail miserably, lol.
