It did awesome in the turns. The BMW is turbo charged, the F is NA. Pretty good compared to what was running. I like in the first video when he wouldn't let the R8 pass at 5:10.

This best thing about this, is that Lexus Japan is starting to take this to the next level for the IS-F

I count 4 IS-F CCS-R's in this photo alone..... Photos were taken in Japan this past week...

It's great to see this side of Lexus. A greater awareness to the brand, and even more tweaks for future F vehicles. Great post, Joe!

That's great to see them out there. No one is racing F's yet here in the US yet?

I saw the IS350 race team is for sale http://www.intracecars.com/index.cfm?page=21

Is the CCS-R going to made available to racing teams? What about the CCS version? Will that ever come to market besides the Parts that TRD released in japan?
