The remote-controlled RC F might be a tiny—but the car control demonstrated in the “Play Time” video LexusVehicles released yesterday is immense. Where does the operator even stand to get the perspective needed to judge these microscopic tolerances? I think it’s time for a behind-the-scenes video, not to mention a GoPro.
There’s nothing in this Top Gear video which qualifies as breaking news—or really anything we haven’t heard before. What there are? Plenty of good shots of former F1 pilot and two-time 24 Hour of Le Mans winner Alex Wurz hurling the RC F through bends sideways.
This was the RC F Varis brought to the 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon, and from discussion I’ve seen on the forum, it doesn’t sound like many ClubLexus members will be going this route with their rides. Let’s just say less-than-cordial statements were made, and the words “cheap” and “Civic” may have been used.
Lexus hasn’t exactly been hiding the RC F GT3 Concept, and while pictures are always cool, getting to see the RC line’s weapons-grade cousin stretch its legs at Fuji Speedway is an order of magnitude better.
