| We promised you big news about Nismo Fiesta this year and here it is! Nismo Fiesta will be moving to Austin, TX this year. This year's Nismo Fiesta weekend will by May 23rd thru May 25th. NF2015 has been working closely with The Driveway Grand Prix just east of Austin. We are excited about this year's event being our biggest Nismo Fiesta to date. We are expecting our attendance to swell tremendously this year.
The Agenda:
*** Friday - The opening banquet will be held on Friday at our host hotel. This will allow incoming attendees, Nissan dignitaries and Nismo Fiesta staff to meet and greet early in the event. We will discuss the events layout as well as going over both recent Nissan and Nissan Motorsports news.
*** Saturday - Saturday's event will allow for two types of driving experiences, a track day and a hill country cruise.
The Driveway will host our track day on Saturday. The Driveway track event will allow those limited few that paid for the event to take advantage of the day long event. The track event is a full driving retreat program for the whole day. This will be a combination of class room education, learning the application of speed dynamics on the track and professional instruction. From there, the event will go into opening the track for groups of 15-25 to run the length of the day. Nismo Fiesta will only offer up 100 track spots once registration opens in the next upcoming weeks. The full daily track retreat will be a $200 per person, which is a hugely reduced attendance cost.
The Hill Country Charity Cruise will consist of a cruise through a pre-determined route with a stop for lunch and finishing up towards the evening. We are requesting a $10 per car charity donation for the cruise to help raise money for Nismo Fiesta's charity of choice. We are in the works for securing the possibility of a parade lap at The Driveway. We expect our cruise to be well over 150 cars this year, so please register early once we open registration. We will have more details as scheduling becomes available. The Night Party will be held later that evening back at our host hotel. We are planning a whole host of activities for Saturday's evening event and will release those details once registration opens. Please note that the Night Party ends at 11pm, allowing the more "rambunctious" attendees to take advantage of Austin's famous night life. **** Sunday - The Driveway will also host our car show event. The car show will be held on the actual track of The Driveway. We are working on supplying the normal Nismo Fiesta Goodies; a dyno, an army of vendors, an autocross and more. The Driveway will also close off half the course the run their professional karts all day for anyone wanting to partake. We expect attendance to swell this year with all the recent news. We are planning for 400 to 500 cars in attendance this year, so please make plans to register early.
The Nismo Fiesta staff will be working hard to bring you another great event. We thank you for your patience in this matter. Look forward to registration opening in the next few weeks. We thank all of our event supporters for helping to spread the word about Nismo Fiesta and ask that you continue to help spread the word about the event through forums and car club discussions. We continue to remind all smaller car clubs and Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti forums that Nismo Fiesta will always have a place for them here.
We will see you very soon!
