The 1989 Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo / Available Now on iRacing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- One of the most brutally fast racing cars ever built, the Nissan GTP ZX-T was that rarest of beasts: a Porsche and Jaguar killer. Along with the Jaguar (XJR9 and 10), the Porsche 962 (and before that, the Porsche 956) ruled the sports prototype roost in the late 1980s, most especially the IMSA Camel GT Series. But beginning with a win at Miami street race in ’87, progressing to Geoff Brabham’s IMSA Camel GT drivers title in ’88 and culminating in an ‘89 season that saw Brabham narrowly edge teammate Chip Robinson for a second drivers title while capturing the manufacturers championship, the Nissan GTP ZX-T emerged as the dominant force in North American sports car racing.
Drive the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo today on iRacing.
I was fortunate enough to see this car in person at a display at Watkins Glen for the 6 hours. It's such an impressive machine to behold. It's so purposeful, yet so beautiful. The car that finally took down the mighty 962 had to be special.
Bring back GTP racing! The fastest racing that ever was!
You got your wish
I can't describe what it was like to watch Geoff in the Nissan battle Davy Jones in the Jag at Portland Int Raceway....Amazing!
Camel GT every summer was the shit..I was probably 11-12 years old running around the pits with my best friend rocking Camel hats. Hanging out in the Camel tent playing slot cars.
I'd really like to see them add Willy T Ribbs AAR Toyota GTO or a Rouch Mustang and Davy Jones Jag.
Saw this car at Riverside... Greatest Nissan , crushed all the 962 Porsche’s...so much power the cylinder was welded to the block...
I'm liking these mini documentaries. I just wish iRacing had a system where you could try the car before buying. Even if it was just in the test environment for a day. I dont want to spend money on a car I might hate. Like I did with the F1 car.
Use testdrive.iracing.com/ when the main site is in maintenance mode. Make sure you have downloaded the cars you want to drive before maintenance though.
As i said, try new cars before buying. Not test cars i already own
You can test the cars you don't own too!!! You just have to make sure you downloaded them in advance ...And what's with the attitude? Please learn to read! Not everybody is willing to spoon feed you! Jeezzz
No attitude, its just a dumb system. The fact you can't easily download the car you haven't bought and then having to wait for the whole site to be down for maintenance before using it. They should have an easier way to try before you buy.
I understand you. It would be more ideal if every subscriber is entitled to 5 test laps in every car before buying. But I think current system is not that bad. If everybody could drive every car at every moment it would hurt sales. There are a lot of people on iRacing that just do lone trips around the track and never drive in a competition. For them it would be free cars. Besides, most factory produced race cars can't be driven in a test drive either (unless you have connections).
Thanks for sharing another long video on content being delivered to the iRacing platform. Really enjoying these.
Bought this thing yesterday, Geoff Brabham's desrciption of 'rocket ship' fits very, VERY. well
This thing has one speed "GO"! Great video!
Now we need the Porsche 956, Sauber C9, MAZDA 787B and Jaguar XJ-9.
hear hear
Yes.
Sauber C9 and 787B I would instantly buy these cars.
Omg yes. I would instantly resub. if they started adding in the prototypes, vintage and new...especially new.
They sure do put up a good arguement for me to renew my subscription...
this + Le Mans ...
Incredible video ! Loved it !
Inside Sim Racing AYEEE
Finally we get a Nissan!!! Really wish they would've put the GT3 Nismo GTR in the game this is a good start
We need the Jaaaaag please iRacing. I've been waiting a long, long time for there to be a proper group C mod that features the Jaaaaag. Please be the first to nail it.
Cool, can we get a vintage oval car now? A Chevy Lumina would be great!
You got your wish, kinda.
This car is beautiful but its just like the Audi that got released, why do we need it? There are so many unfinished series in the game and now they are adding more. We only have 2 gt2 cars, an unfinished gt3 category, the V8 supercars need the updated falcon and the volvo s60 and nissan altima. They should worry about finishing these current series while adding these dream machines.
Exactly, its why some of the other sims like assetto and rf2 are better because you can mod the game and add the cars and tracks you want and make some exciting series
It might have been 'some' years when this content was released but could we get some additions to IMSA vintage series? :D
Mazda 787B!!!!
Nissan late 80s to early 90s, was probably if you want a touring car and prototype prep machine from Japan, it surely had to be. The Rs, the ZXTs, the Godzilla GTR
What a nice video and interview! I wish iRacing had more and more vintage cars.
another extremely well done video. very nicely done!
Welp, now I'm tempted to go for the subscription.
i love you iRacing
Amazing car, amazing series; Iracing, please, keep up the good work: Mazda, Porsche, Jaguar Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Job iRacing, you do a excelent job
Ahhh...good old GT4 memories
This footage is excellent!
This car is so fun to drive - try it.
The smooth voice of Bob Varsha in 90s broadcasts...
iRacing please bring in Sauber C9, Porsche 962C and make every year Retro LM24h
No fucking way. Is this real?
6:04 I want those graphics to return!! btw where is the footage and music from?
1989 chevy lumina nascar?
An LMP-1 ^^ ... oh
KNEESANNNNN
interesting that they ran with so much toe-out.any comments?
What song is being played during the Sears Point footage?
Need the gts 300zx too
I cannot understand why this car and the Audi GTO are wasted in that Kamel class. Add a Nissan and Mustang GTO and another GTP car like the Jag and this series would be a blast!
Why all these old cars when we need new ones to compete in current series?
Because they're amazing
I agree, but there are too many series with not enough participation already.
licensing cost
Like another gt3 car?
yep, since iRacing has a smaller number of players compared to Gran Turismo or Forza, they really need to focus on fewer classes to keep the races full.
Especially when in iRacing you can't be competitive if you drive to many classes.
But the temptation is great to try everything ^^
How could Nissan go from this greatness to just mediocrity.
Iam total stuck in classic Motorsport, IMSA GTO, Early GT500, japan supercars, Grp 5 Rally, DTM until end of 90s, second era of turbo F1, etc...
Man I'm old. Do you know what Can-Am is?
@@mescko Can-Am these 3 wheeler bikes?
Awesome!
Great BMG throughout, any tips on source?
Nissan commercial on Le Mans ... bam Nissan car. do we all see the Porsche advert on le mans?
Lol keep dreaming
Is Porsches exclusive deal with EA over? I've seen the AC announcement earlier this year, but I don't know if they got the Porsche license from Porsche or EA.
I remember reading somewhere that Porsches exclusive deal with EA ends this year, but I don't remember where I read it.
EA deal is over since few month and yes i will keep dreaming. to have the Porsche logo, they must have an agreement from the brand.
Awesome!
Been awhile since i yelled out HOLY SHIT loud enough my neighbor came over to say what. But this, This did it. HWAT
awesome!!
We need the group a skyline
Oh nice LMP1! :)
This isn't an lmp1
AH SI? NO LO SABIA
Sergi Matu I don't understand
Ending credits song?

Amazing video, but the graphics of this game are garbage.
