An interview with Nissan and NISMO engineers during GT4 America at COTA!

(Recorded May 20th, 2023)

As mentioned in episode 68, here is our FULL INTERVIEW with three Nissan and NISMO engineers:

Greg Nelson - Program Manager, Nissan Motorsports

Kazuya Magoori (Mago) - Senior Manager, Nissan Motorsports & NISMO

Koichi Ogawara (Ko) - Chief Track Engineer, NISMO

 

After an eventful race 1 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, Mike was fortunate to sit with Greg, Mago, and Ko for a bit inside the TechSport Racing office to talk about the new Nissan Z as well as its performance (so far) during its return to GT4 American racing. Nissan intends for their GT4 motorsports program to continue into 2024 and beyond; continuously improving their Z car based on the data they are logging now. In addition, we got to know the engineers personally by asking them about their favorite Nissan car. 

 

We hope you enjoy our conversation! We would like to thank TechSport Racing, Nissan, and NISMO for their hospitality & support of our podcast, and hope to visit with them again!

 

KANPAI!
