Default Is Lexus really reacing this??

Nothing wrong with the car at all, I just thought that they were only racing the IS and the GS(well used to be racing the GS). So if they are, whats the specs on this thing?? I personally cant sit down and watch cars go around a track, really boring to me(unless I'm actually the one doing the driving, then its another story), so I never payed attention to what Toyota/Lexus has out there in the race world.

yeah, this races in the LeMans series. Its doing pretty well. They got their asses handed to them a few times already, but they are winning every so often.

yeah i thought watching a car go round a track 70 times would be boring until i actually sat down to watch an F1 race last summer. other than the fact ferrari won everything, it was exciting! nascar, on the other hand... well i haven't tried yet so i won't say anything.

Wow you're behind. A select group of ClubLexus members came to CA Speedway for the 3rd time to see the Lexus Grand Am Cup Prototype car make it's win w/the #1 numbered car:
