Nissan Philippines recently invited us to test the 2024 Nissan GT-R and the all-new 2024 Nissan Z at the Clark International Speedway (CIS). It's their two newest sports cars to enter the Philippine market. But aside from the usual rack test, the Japanese automaker also had a racing simulator available for us to get familiar with virtual versions of their vehicles before we took them out on the track.

There are a lot of stories about Chevrolet's Camaro over the years and several decades. It has been known widely all over the globe as it was featured in numerous movies and products. It even was featured as one of Hot Wheel's model toys for many years. For it to receive such recognition and popularity, there's something in it that makes it special among its rivals in the category.
