LE MANS, France – #nissan power takes to the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Michelin Le Mans Cup this weekend.
Powered by a #nissan 3.0-liter, turbo V6 VRX30A evo engine, the LMP1 ByKOLLES team of Tom Dillman, Dominik Kraihamer and Oliver Webb will race in the world's most prestigious #endurance classic.
