Nissan has some star names in its driver line-up for the 2011 season.

The squad includes Brazilian former Formula One drivers Ricardo Zonta and Enrique Bernoldi, plus sportscar stars Lucas Luhr and Richard Westbrook.

James Rumsey Motorsport Group will campaign four Nissan GT-Rs, two as Sumo Power GT and two managed by a sister operation under the JRM banner.

Westbrook, Zonta, Bernoldi were all GT1 frontrunners in 2010 with Matech Ford, Reiter Lamborghini and Vitaphone Maserati respectively.

Former Audi factory driver and multiple American Le Mans Series class champion Luhr will be making his World GT1 debut.

Existing Sumo Power drivers Peter Dumbreck and Michael Krumm both stay on as JR team members. Krumm will be paired with fellow-German Luhr in one car, with British duo Dumbreck and Westbrook taking the other.

Bernoldi and Zonta will share one of the Sumo Power entries, with the rest of the driver line-up to be announced shortly.
