Nissan: powers to another le mans 24 hours victory

A Nissan­powered LM P2 car took the class victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours today for the second year in succession.

The Jota Sport Zytek­Nissan strode to a dominant class win and fifth place overall at what will be remembered as one of the toughest Le Mans 24 Hours in recent years.

Nissan power took a 1­2­3­4­5 finish in the LM P2 class in one of the best ever results for its P2 engine.

Today's result was a strong demonstration of the highs and lows of motorsport ­ a win for the NISMO­tuned Nissan VK45DE V8 engine but heartbreak for Jann Mardenborough and Mark Shulzhitskiy, Nissan's gamers­ turned­racers who had to settle for fifth in class after leading for over 14 hours.

The No.35 Oak Racing Ligier­Nissan took the lead of the race a few hours in but had to give up the fight for victory just two hours short of the finish when they had a spark plug issue that left them down on power and unable to defend their position.
