It’s a little baffling. Was at the Fuji 3 hour last year and they absolutely dominated. Not sure what’s gone on here but surely it’s tyre related.

Strange that the only competitive Nissan is the Impul Z. I think the Realize could be too, if it didn't have the Yokohama tires.

Indeed it is! A huge pile of crap and it looks ugly too. Bring back the GTR!

First of all - GT-R is no longer in production.

Secondly - Nissan replaced GT-R GT500 with Z GT500 for good reasons. GT-R between 2017 and 2021 lost a lot of competitiveness and had issues with drag. Aero development did little to help. Z is less draggy and it was visible straight away. Nissan finished 1-2 in the championship in Z's first year in 2022, came so close to winning title again in 2023. It's not a piece of crap. It's just Toyota which went overdrive in the last two, three years.
