Sick... I hope Lexus continues to enter the LFA in such races too, but with crazier mods like this GT-R GT1 so that they can actually win races. With the F1 budget freed up, I don't see why not.

Thanks for the advice bro. The funny thing is my brother in law was telling me the same thing like 45 minutes ago on the phone from NJ. His wife is the regional service manager for Nissan / Infiniti for the north east of the US. She says that GTR sales have slumped and she could help me find one for a deal. I have to admit the ownership agreement has me a little freaked out. I think I will be ok as long as I am not frequently beating the **** out it. I am not a drag racer so the tranny would be safe

so being that the stock form gtr blew a lot of the normal super cars out of the water, does this mean this gt1 class gtr will give the prototype cars a run for their money! lol jk! :P all that aside that thing looks MEAN!

Looks pretty crazy. Interesting though that it's running a V8 and in RWD configuration.
