BTCC 1998 for GTR Evolution - Nissan Previews

Yesterday, I posted a story on the Peugeot 406 preview of MMG’s British Touring Car Championship mod for GTR Evolution, incorrectly claiming that this was the first preview to be released since the mod announcement in September.

That wasn’t true as MMG’s Petros Mak had released the following previews of the Nissan Primera model back in April, I just didn’t spot them then and neither seem to have most people. :grin:
