Nissan reported having issues with their Hybrid system, so the current cars (all 3 of them) are racing with the hybrid powertrain DEACTIVATED. However, ACO doesn't allow the heavy electric motors or batteries to be removed, so they have reduced power, heavy-deadweight onboard, FWD-only drive, and loss of regenerative braking which lengthens braking distances.

Or you can blame Firemonkey for making this game's title rather ironic in hindsight (very 'real' racing indeed).
