YES! You've read it right... They use a GT-R at the Nurburgring track as a Rapid Response Vehicle!!!

i wonder what Nissan thinks about this... but in the other hand.. they must be proud.. Its a Rapid response vehicle... which means it needs to be FAST... lol

When you think about it, it makes sense. Imagine how long it could take a firetruck to get to some places on the track.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It's not like it's hauling around a huge tank of water, it just a big fire extinguisher with a retractable hose. I'm sure you'd be thankful to be at any track where a rapid response vehicle that is as fast as a GT-R is present.

Godzilla and Nurburgring go hand in hand.
