Lexus RC-F GT3 Homologation?
Has anyone been following this?
As I understand it when a car is homologated for GT3 Racing, it has to have a production counter part that is sold to the public. Could this mean we could finally have the RC-F we deserved in 2015?

The Lexus RC-F GT3 car will finally be homologated in the next fortnight, according to its development partner Emil Frey Racing. Speaking to DSC at the Nurburgring, Lorenz Frey confirmed the Swiss team has taken delivery of the improved version of the car. “It looks really good, they have incorporated a lot of developments suggested by us and Farnbacher Racing,” he said.

Why would you say that the RC F is not already the production counterpart for the GT3? The public version of a homologated car does not have to be the exact same as the one used in races. In fact, there are always differences between them since the vehicles sold to the public must meet government rules and regulations for safety and emissions (exhausts, lights, etc..).
It is my understanding that the GT3 has the same engine and chassis as the RC F. It likely has different exhaust (if it has any at all), different headers, a different tune and it surely has less weight do to the lack of luxuries.
I believe we already have the RC F we deserve. We were just denied our tuning ability...
