Nissan Motorsport and James Moffat are parting ways at the end of the 2015 V8 Supercars season, with the second-generation star set to join a yet-to-be-named rival team.

The 31-year-old has raced for Nissan since they rejoined the sport in 2013, taking the marque's maiden win on return at Winton in 2013, its first pole position in 2014 at Ipswich, and scoring an upset podium finish in last year's Bathurst 1000 with Taz Douglas.
