A glória de corrida da Nissan é comemorada no Classic Motorsports Mitty

A Nissan celebrou sua rica história de automobilismo no último fim de semana na Geórgia, onde dezenas de Datsuns e Nissans participaram do festival clássico Motorsports Mitty.
No Mitty, os lendários carros Nissan e Datsun de equipes famosas como Brock Racing Enterprises e Bob Sharp Racing estavam no local em Road Atlanta para todos os fãs aproveitarem. Também lá: a lenda de corrida John Morton, que serviu como o Grande Marechal e correu uma réplica de seu vencedor do campeonato de 1971 BRE Datsun 240Z.
A corrida do All-Nissan / Datsun de sábado foi vencida por Alex McDowell a bordo do seu Nissan Skyline GT-R de 1971.
Se você não teve a chance de participar deste fantástico festival vintage, deixe que as fotos a seguir (e vídeos) ajudem a dar um gostinho de todo o entusiasmo infeccioso da Nissan em exibição.

Datsun/Nissan legend John Morton served as grand marshal at the 2018 Classic Motorsports Mitty.

With Nissan as featured marque, there were more than 50 vintage Datsun/Nissan racing cars competing over the weekend at the 2018 Mitty at Road Atlanta.

Alex McDowell drove this beautiful 1971 Hakosuka Skyline GT-R to victory on Saturday. McDowell's Hako was one of the few right-hand-drive machines competing at The Mitty at Road Atlanta.

While Z cars and Datsun 510s made up the largest contingent of Nissan vehicles entered at The Mitty 2018, numerous well restored and prepared B210 racing cars represented the small-displacement Datsun powerplants very nicely. This car won the SCCA C Sedan National championship three straight years from 1977-1979 with Dick Davenport driving. His son Rob brought the restored car to The Mitty to share with the fans in 2018.

Old Fairlady Roadsters can be more than elegant vintage sports cars. The Fairlady made a formidable E-Production racing car for many years in SCCA competition.

The distinctive red, white and blue livery and number 33 of Bob Sharp Racing brings back memories of the team's dominance of C Production racing throughout the 1970s.

Saturday's all-Nissan race attracted an impressive variety of vintage Datsun/Nissan racing cars.

This Datsun 240Z won the IMSA Camel GTU championship in 1978 with Brad Friselle. David Martin of Saint Helena, Calif. now campaigns the nicely restored champion in historic races around the country.

Alex McDowell, Grayson Upchurch, Jr. and Scott Kissinger took the top three spots in Saturday's Nissan feature driving an early Skyline GT-R, Fairlady Roadster and a 240Z, respectively.
