Wow, those pics were outstanding!! Gave us a behind to scene look at things. Its amazing how people knock Lexus for not being sporty but their cars are raced more and more often and Lexus has entered more and more races. It is fabulous they are doing this, from the Riley car, to this to Team Lexus.

wondering why the gs450h has only one exhaust and also are the brakes up front different? i mean are they regenerative brakes or standard aftermarket racing brakes (e.g. brembo)?
