Lexus RC F GT3 Completes the 24 Hours of Spa, Finishes 13th Overall

Posted by Kevin on July 30th, 2018

The Blancpain 24 Hours of Spa has concluded, with the Emil Frey #14 Lexus RC F GT3 finishing 13th overall in what proved to be a very difficult race for the team.

The trouble started in the early morning, when the second RC F GT3 participating in the race crashed into the side wall, destroying the car and sending driver Stephane Ortelli to the hospital. An update from the team indicate Ortelli will be fine.

This does not take away from the success of finishing in the top 15 — the Emil Frey team posted videos throughout the race:

The Blancpain GT Series will now take a month-long break before resuming at the end of August at the Hungaroring in Hungary.

Awww you! ;) Ya got me there. All good though!

Anyways, boy am I really proud for these guys, they are having much more presence in racing. They are winning lots of races in different series and have won titles under Lexus too. Smart on them, build a strong foundation in racing divisions smaller than F1, they can make an entrance in time for the 2021 regulations, where they have attracted a lot of potential constructors and suppliers like Aston Martin, Porsche, Cosworth and Ilmor. Hope Lexus joins in too.

For those who don't follow F1 and are not aware of what the 2021 regulations are:

This can really open doors for Lexus. Plenty of reasons why it makes sense. For those who haven't seen my very first few posts here, it was regarding Lexus in F1, flip to the first page to see why I said it makes sense.
