James Moffat will make his international motor racing debut in the 2014 Dubai 24 Hour at the Dubai Autodrome. The #360 Norton Nissan Altima V8 Supercar driver will drive a Nissan 370Z Nismo for the Nissan GT Academy Team RJN in the endurance event, to be held 9-11 January 2014.
Nismo operate a Global Driver Exchnage program and this is the first time an Aussie driver has been selected. Moffat will partner former F1 driver Karun Chandhok, FIA World Endurance Championship driver Tor Graves, Middle Eastern GT CAAdemy winner Salman Al Khater and South African GT Academy winner Ashley Oldfield.
“It’s great to be involved with the Nissan GT Academy Team RJN for the Dubai 24 Hours,” said James Moffat.
“We’ve been fortunate to race our regular V8 Supercars in different parts of the world, but this will be a totally new and different experience for me in the 370Z Nismo.
“I’ve also never raced in a 24 Hour event before, so that will be a new challenge – adapting to a new car, around a foreign track and racing in the dark!
“I’m looking forward to being a part of the Nismo Global Driver Exchange program, and we’ll be aiming to finish as high as we can in Dubai.”
Good luck to James in the race.
