1990 Le Mans 24h, Nissan R90CK
1990 Was the year of Nissan’s bis assault on Le Mans, no less than 5 factory cars entered the race; four R90CK and one R90CP with different aerodynamics. Mark Blundell went out on qualifiers and high turbo pressure. The engine developed nearly 1100 hp and luckily stayed in one piece during his flying lap. He drove it to pole position, six seconds faster than the 2nd placed Porsche 962. Other Nissans qualified 3rd and 5th. But Le Mans isn’t about one lap, it’s the pinnacle of endurance racing. The R90CP with all Japanese crew managed 5th.
