Nissan GT-R Owner's Hit the Nurburgring Race Track
Nissan's Pan-European driving programme to introduce the new GT-R to more than 1,300 pre-sold customers in the 'Old Continent' is entering its final stages as instructors from Silverstone International have began teaching drivers new tricks at the famed Nurburgring race track. The 19-date run at Germany's Nurburgring follows the debut of the experience at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix in August, where more than 500 owners got behind the wheel of the GT-R for the very first time. -Continued
"Half of those who attended had been on other drive experiences, but 98 per cent of them were unanimous that the Academy was their best one yet," explained Jonathan Tait, Sales & Marketing Director, Silverstone International.
Darren Cox, European Brand Promotion Manager for Nissan Europe, added: "This is not your average car and this is not your average driving experience. Nissan has set its sights high with this breakthrough customer focused launch; in partnership with Silverstone those ambitions are being delivered in spades."
Nissan said that further sessions, including the opportunity to take a full race license test, will be held during 2009. European deliveries of the GT-R will start in April 2009, but if you haven't put your name on the order book yet, you better be patient as the waiting list is currently 18 months in the UK alone.
