You're welcome everyone .

You're probably right TF109B, it may be a one-off class. We'll know soon enough either way.

Damn I'm so excited for this, we were totally screwed the last couple of years. Could 2013 be the big year for the LFA?

When is N24 this year? I missed last year but Im going to make it a point to watch it this year.

Tell me about it. I am already having LFA withdrawals.

Cannot wait to see that V10 screaming and howling back again in spring around Nurburgring racing circuit.

The LFA is in action this weekend!

Cool. Will it be a practice run or will it be for an actually VLN race??

TF109B

The LFA was in SP8 class, it was an actual VLN race. Came in the top 30 overall. I do not think this LFA is the same as the one pictured at the beginning of this thread, but an 'old' model (like last year).

Well, that is disappointing if lexus was using the same LFA from last year.

I was really hoping to see the new and souped up LFA this year as that is what they advertised and then decide to use the same LFA as last year.

So is there any chance that the new LFA would be used in the 24-hour race or Lexus will have to use the same old LFA in the 24-hours race as well??

The new LFA is confirmed for the N24. They're probably just using this model for the drivers to get accustomed to the track. Kageyama is a newcomer to my knowledge.

That is good news. I really hope they use the new LFA for the 24-hours race and step up into the most competitive classes. I am sure LFA would do exceptionally well in the GT class. Plus it would be great to watch video of the new LFA in action.

GT Class? There all in some way GT's. SP9 is GT3 type cars. I'm guessing this LFA may stay SP8 or be in the EX class. Go to www.vln.de they have the entry list. There was a couple IS-F's in the race, one with Gran Turismo creator Kaz Yamauchi.

Here's a picture of the car from the side-



you can clearly see this isn't the LFA in the OP.

Thanks. That is true. It is the same LFA as last year. Looking forward to seeing the new LFA race car in the 24-hours race.
