It has been 25 years since a Nissan was on pole position at Le Mans. The Nissan R90 C, developed together with Lola, was a classic Group C racing car built for the World Sportscar Championship (WSC) and the Japanese All Japan Sports Prototype Championship (JSPC).

However, the race in 1990 was not to bring much luck to the Japanese team, which had entered five cars. With the exception of pole position(R90 CK) and the highest speed on the Mulsanne straight, it was only fifth place overall.

In 2015, the Nissan people are back and they honor their predecessors by painting the new LMP1 car similar to its 25 years older grandfather. We wish them good luck!
