The values of technological development, sporting equity and popularity, which have been our driving force since 1923, correspond perfectly to the spirit of the major players on the world motor car scene who want to invest in racing. " Vincent Beaumesnil, Automobile Club de l'Ouest Sports Manager: " The Nissan project shows yet again that Le Mans-type endurance is the priority testing ground for the major manufacturers in the development of new technologies. The common desire of the ACO and the FIA to allow the inclusion of new technologies in the LMP1 regulations coming into force in 2014 is paying off! We would like to thank the Nissan management for their confidence in us by taking the decision to test a revolutionary power train in next year's Le Mans 24 Hours in preparation for their planned arrival in the LMP1 category in the future.
