Nissan Motorsport has released the first image of its 2014-specification Nissan Altima ahead of the official V8 Supercars pre-season test day this weekend. Nissan were given permission to rehomolgate its aero kit during the off-season after high drag levels were blamed for the Altima\u2019s poor straightline speed in 2013.<\/p>\n Moffat claimed his and the Nissan Altima’s first V8 Supercars win when he led home team-mate Caruso to a one-two finish in the opening 60\/60 sprint race at Winton last August.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had a number of highlights last year, and there were some tough times too, but we have put that behind us and we\u2019re looking forward to the 2014 season,\u201d<\/em> Moffat said.<\/p>\n \u201cMotor racing is a \u2018must deliver\u2019 business, but more so for Nissan Motorsport this year. In this industry, nothing speaks stronger than results, and that\u2019s what we are here to achieve this year. Until we hit the track for the first time at the Sydney test, we won\u2019t be getting too carried away with expectations.<\/em> The Test Day is crucial for the teams, hoping to bank valuable data before the first race meeting of the year, the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

\nNorton Hornets drivers James Moffat and Michael Caruso unveiled the Norton-liveried Altima revealing the updated aerodynamic package for 2014 which features shallower front bar scallops and revised rear wing uprights.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to have any expectations before the season starts, as we\u2019ll be heading into the new year with a new package.<\/p>\n
\n
\nHopefully it will be an improvement, and I\u2019m sure it will be, so all we can do is head to the test, put our best foot forward and have a productive day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
