“While I’m sure that the fans will be excited to see the Altima in the flesh for the first time, there’s no doubt that the most excited person to hear this news confirmed is actually me.”

“I’ve been busting to get my first drive of the new Nissan all year long as we’ve been watching the car take shape in the various departments of our team workshop. So to get the chance to drive the Altima V8 Supercar in front of a crowd at the Sydney Olympic Park street circuit is going to be a fantastic buzz.”The Nissan Altima V8 Supercar will be on display in the V8 Supercar pit pavilion from today, and will hit the track on Sunday at 11:10am.

Not to be outdone, Ford has confirmed the Ford Performance Racing (FPR) COTF Falcon will also make an appearance at the event.
