Nissan Qualifies Well at 24 Hours of Dubai...

With three lonely entries (as opposed to the hordes of Porsches, BMWs and Mercedes) in the 24 Hours of Dubai, Nissan is continuing to push their motorsports program forward.

The race which begins tomorrow will feature a Nissan GT-R GT3 class car in the highest end A6 class (fielded by JRM Nissan), a 370Z in the GT3A class (fielded by RJN Motorsports) and another 370Z from RJN in the GT4 class.

All of these efforts qualified well today.  The JRM GT-R will be 3rd off the line in its 28 car class tomorrow with only two Ferrari 458's ahead of it.  The GT3A class 370Z qualified 4th in its field of 7, giving away a ton of horsepower to the Viper and Corvette in front of it.  Lastly the GT4 class 370Z qualified 2nd in its 18 car field behind only a typically well handling Lotus.

The only downside of each of these Nissan efforts is that they have no teammates with which to partner for a better effort and will have to perform to their best on their own.  We will see...
24 Hours of Dubai...
