Default Lexus LC 500 race car will have 25% less downforce than RC F version


According to the post on the HP, the LC 500 race car will have 25% less downforce than the comparable RC F, due to rule changes. Seems like the drivers will have their hands full, huh? But I agree with the writer than it should make for some exciting racing...

For sure. But whenever I think about pulling downforce from cars, I always think about the Mercedes CLR-GT1 crash at Le Mans in 1999. That was insane.
