gtr660hp Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 just what a broke company like Nissan needs to do-waste 300 mill on an F1 team Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141309-nissan-to-join-formula-1/#findComment-2632540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nissan is part owned by Renault, so they sort of have a tie to F1 anyway (sort of.......)

djr81 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Cheapest way would be to rebadge customer Renault F1 engines as Nissan units. Not sure they would be very successful in comparison to the factory renault effort. Redbull Nissan anyone...

gtr660hp Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The renault connection maybe benificial and also not so beneficial at the same time-The last thing Nissan need is a long hard slog in F1 and end up providing the mid field with another team. Toyota has gone through hundreds of millions of dollars to prove ...nothing really Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141309-nissan-to-join-formula-1/#findComment-2635103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Renault Junior Team, though they are already supplying engines to a 2nd team, and dont really have thay big a spend. Maybe a move back to Rallying, with Nissan taking over F1? Nope, wont happen. At best they mayn try a sportscar program using the NIssan name, but i doubt even that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141309-nissan-to-join-formula-1/#findComment-2635144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs73 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 might be their marketing strategy to also help promote the upcoming R35 GTR and by getting more active again in motorsport?
