That's pretty cool! I wonder if it's going to be used at any upcoming races.

As the caption says, it is being used as a safety car. Can such cars be used for races as well? Wouldn't it be kind of ironical? I'm sorry for being ignorant but it's just a thought.

I'm talking about it being used during a major race as a pace car. For example Ford used the new Lightning electric pickup as a pace car for a NASCAR race.

Ford announced that the F-150 Lightning electric truck, due to come to market soon, will be the official NASCAR pace vehicle this weekend at Martinsville.

The Z being the safety car for Motul Petit Le Mans this year would be cool. I believe last time they used a BMW M2.

Oh! I see. Thanks for the clarification. I just asked out of curiosity.

It looks like the 2023 Nissan Z is being used as a pace car/safety car at Road Atlanta.

Did you spot this Z?
I wish they got more creative with it or at least added a light bar (not hard to do)

I did spot it, it’s the official pilot car but with all the extras taken off. The guy was just driving it around, this was taken at a Chipotle lol.

Nissan has made a Z safety car that's going to be used in Super GT races.

What percentage of 370Zs were sold with a stick shift

Does anyone know this stat? I feel like it will give us a good idea if the new Z will get a stick-shift.

Can't wait to see it with the full lighting setup in action, including whatever they did to the headlights, taillights and side markers.
Sort of like what's going on here.
