Standing at Turn 5 of Big Willow, Tire Rack’s Matt Edmonds and Motor Trend Head 2 Head’s Randy Pobst chat a bit about the 2015 Nissan GTR Nismo edition before Pobst abuses it on the track.
Nissan’s sophisticated design and Dunlop’s SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT, fine-tuned for the Nismo, prove to be a very good combination with Pobst at the wheel.
