Nissan North America and NASA (not the space agency, but the National Auto Sport Association) have announced the creation of an all-new Spec Z series that will feature the Nissan 350Z. The NASA Spec Z class will include all trim levels of the 2003-2008 year model Nissan 350Z in a single classification focused on close competition, parity and cost containment that will showcase driving ability and car setup skills.
Nissan Motorsports will provide significant support for the series, and their contingency prize program provides cash rewards up to $850 for the top three finishers at each regional competition weekend. Additionally, Nissan Motorsports will provide $6,500 in cash support to the top Spec Z finishers at the 2012 NASA Championships.
BFGoodrich tires will be the control tire for the Spec Z class, and BFG has also created a generous contingency prize program for the series.
