although nissan managed to win nine of the fourteen rounds that the gtp class competed in that season, the decision by electramotive to skip the 24 hours of daytona and 12 hours of sebring hurt nissan's ability to win the constructor's championship. with only three wins, porsche's points earned at the races nissan missed allowed them to win the championship by a mere point. however, as consolation, nissan's geoff brabham would win the drivers championship by a large margin.
