| WEC: Nissan Quits LMP1 "Nissan has axed its troubled FIA World Endurance LMP1 Program. The Japanese manufacturer alerted employees via e-mail Tuesday morning the Indianapolis-based front-engine GT-R LM NISMO P1 hybrid program has been shuttered. Most employees were on holiday at the time, and according to one team source, those attempting to enter the building found access codes had changed and were locked out. "Program leaders Ben Bowlby and Chris Mower were then tasked with calling each employee directly as many, according to a source, were not monitoring work email and learned about their firings via the Internet." Not exactly a surprise, but the timing could have been better.
