The 1989 Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo / Available Now on iRacing

Ойындар

One of the most brutally fast racing cars ever built, the Nissan GTP ZX-T was that rarest of beasts: a Porsche and Jaguar killer. Along with the Jaguar (XJR9 and 10), the Porsche 962 (and before that, the Porsche 956) ruled the sports prototype roost in the late 1980s, most especially the IMSA Camel GT Series. But beginning with a win at Miami street race in ’87, progressing to Geoff Brabham’s IMSA Camel GT drivers title in ’88 and culminating in an ‘89 season that saw Brabham narrowly edge teammate Chip Robinson for a second drivers title while capturing the manufacturers championship, the Nissan GTP ZX-T emerged as the dominant force in North American sports car racing.
Drive the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo today on iRacing.

    I was fortunate enough to see this car in person at a display at Watkins Glen for the 6 hours. It's such an impressive machine to behold. It's so purposeful, yet so beautiful. The car that finally took down the mighty 962 had to be special.

    I can't describe what it was like to watch Geoff in the Nissan battle Davy Jones in the Jag at Portland Int Raceway....Amazing! Camel GT every summer was the shit..I was probably 11-12 years old running around the pits with my best friend rocking Camel hats. Hanging out in the Camel tent playing slot cars. I'd really like to see them add Willy T Ribbs AAR Toyota GTO or a Rouch Mustang and Davy Jones Jag.

    I'm liking these mini documentaries. I just wish iRacing had a system where you could try the car before buying. Even if it was just in the test environment for a day. I dont want to spend money on a car I might hate. Like I did with the F1 car.

    No attitude, its just a dumb system. The fact you can't easily download the car you haven't bought and then having to wait for the whole site to be down for maintenance before using it. They should have an easier way to try before you buy.

    I understand you. It would be more ideal if every subscriber is entitled to 5 test laps in every car before buying. But I think current system is not that bad. If everybody could drive every car at every moment it would hurt sales. There are a lot of people on iRacing that just do lone trips around the track and never drive in a competition. For them it would be free cars. Besides, most factory produced race cars can't be driven in a test drive either (unless you have connections).

    This car is beautiful but its just like the Audi that got released, why do we need it? There are so many unfinished series in the game and now they are adding more. We only have 2 gt2 cars, an unfinished gt3 category, the V8 supercars need the updated falcon and the volvo s60 and nissan altima. They should worry about finishing these current series while adding these dream machines.

    yep, since iRacing has a smaller number of players compared to Gran Turismo or Forza, they really need to focus on fewer classes to keep the races full. Especially when in iRacing you can't be competitive if you drive to many classes. But the temptation is great to try everything ^^
