Lexus LFA Finishes 15th Overall in 24h Nürburgring Race

Kevin May 21st, 2012

Lexus LFA Places 15th overall

In the 24 Hours of Nürburgring race this weekend, The Gazoo #83 Lexus LFA placed 15th overall & 1st in the SP8 class.

Drivers Takayuki Kinoshita, Juichi Wakisaka, and Akira Iida guided the LFA to its best-ever finish in this day-long endurance race, running at a smooth and steady clip that saw only one extended pitstop to replace a damaged front bumper.

Here are some photos that Lexus Europe shared with me, starting with an extended look at the three Gazoo Racing entries (one LFA, two Toyota FT 86s):
