“There will be plenty of all-nighters this side of race week but the team is in very good spirits and we have some clear goals in mind for the test, and for the race week, too,” said Darren Cox, Nissan’s Global Head of Motorsport.

“We’ve learned a huge amount about the car, it’s potential this year and next too and while we’d be smart to aim at realistic targets in the immediate future there is a lot more to come,” said Cox.
