Maserati and Nissan are likely to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2010
Nissan and Maserati appear certain to end long absences from the 24 Hours of Le Mans next year.
Both manufacturers aim to take advantage of the decision of the Le Mans organizer, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, to allow the same cars that will race in the new-for-2010 FIA GT1 World Championship to race in the 24 Hours. That means Nissan’s GT-R, which is built to the new GT1 rule book, and Maserati’s MC12, which will be allowed to race in modified form for one more season, will be eligible for Le Mans.
