Code X has a slower qualifying lap time probably because the new chassis is not fully optimized yet.

Race begins tommorow


New video of qualifying lap:

Race results:

Lexus LFA Code X finished 11th overall (1st in the SP-PRO class)

Lexus LFA finished 13th overall (1st in the SP8 class)

Huge wins for Gazoo racing. Next year Lexus/Gazoo should realize their dream of top 10 finish with the Code X by stepping up to the SP9 class.

Looked up the overall race results and despite Porsche entering close to 20 GT3 Cup cars, the only Porsche ahead of the LFAs was the hybrid R. Time for Lexus to enter the SP9 class.

Check out the cars both Lexus LFAs spanked in the race. Even the more restricted SP8 class LFA beat out all of these cars.

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (SP9)
Porsche 911 GT3 997 Cup (SP7)
Ferrari 458 Italia Challlenge GT3 (SP9)
Porsche GT3 RSR (SP-PRO)
McLaren MP4-12C GT3 (SP9G)
Nissan GTR GT3 (SP9)

All of these cars are highly modified compared to the restricted SP8 and SP-PRO class. Next year Lexus really needs to enter the Code X into the SP9 class.

They wont need to use the code x for sp9, they have the RC F GT3 for that! The gazoo challenge is for "good auto manufacturing" according to their twitter. Im thinking the code x is for future car studies. I hope it translates to a new supercar.
