Video of the day: the Nismo Festival

If you've read our report from the Tokyo Motor Show, you'll be aware that after years of supplying their excellent bolt-on go-faster bits, Nismo (NISsan MOtorsport - geddit?) may be planning a more formal arrangement to sell their tweaked cars through Nissan dealerships. As AMG are to Mercedes, and M Sport to BMW, so Nismo hopes to compelement Nissan. The Nismo Juke concept (seen here) is one opening gambit.

Our pickles are tickled. And a fine excuse to dig through the video archives and show you this glorious bit of footage from the 2010 Nismo Festival at Fuji Speedway, Japan (make it full screen for the best impact).

Great footage and some incredible JDM machinery with high drool factor there! Unfortantly Nismo lost me when they lost that gorgeous straight six noise known all the way from the earliest GTR's and Z cars until the R34 Skylines.
