Tynan's Nissan

For the past few years, Nissan has served as an official sponsor of the  IMSA TUDOR Series and been a strong presence in the series with a variety of power plants and different types of cars both competing and assisting in the events. For this season, the brand has debuted a new specially-built and designed 2016 Nissan Maxima to serve as one of the official safety cars.

This new safety car made its first appearance on the track this past weekend during the Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway in Danville, Virginia. Along with its appearance on the track, Nissan had the vehicle on display for a full week, allowing fans to get a closer look at its impressive features.

The 2016 Maxima Safety Car is scheduled to hit the track again next month during the Lone Star Le Mans race at the Circuit of the Americas which is taking place from September 17-19 in Austin, Texas.

Along with the new safety car, Nissan entered a pair of Doran Racing Nissan 370Z NISMOs in both races. At the Oak Tree Grand Prix, the two cars competed in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge.
