Nissan likes to shake things up with their driver line-ups before big races – the No. 35 Nissan GT-R team is the latest team to receive changes before this month’s Spa 24 Hours race. The team that consists of a two-time Super GT GT500 Champion Masataka Yanagida, Katsumasa Chiyo and Miguel Faisca will be joined by Mark Shulzhitskiy, the winner of the 2012 GT Academy Russia competition. He said, “Racing a P2 car is a big opportunity for me – My recent experience at Le Mans was very special. Le Mans is such a fast, dangerous and unpredictable race. Coupled with that, I was in a very fast car with very fast teammates and a top team, so the pressure was on for me. I learned a lot and just that one race has made me a lot stronger.” Shulzhitskiy, is excited to join the team. Darren Cox, NISMO Global Head of Brand, Marketing and Sales, said, “We like to shake up our driver line-ups every now and again. I’ve said it before that winning GT Academy doesn’t guarantee anyone a race seat for life. We expect maximum effort and top performances from our guys and recently Mark and Wolfie have shone.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
