But ES production is moving back to Japan before the next gen comes out?

All of those are unobtanium.

I've been rewatching the race on IMSA's Youtube channel this weekend and I think it was Shea Adam that later on said his radio had come unplugged or came loose. I don't remember NBC ever reporting what happened.

Who was the crew member that Jack bumped into leaving the pit box and had to do a drive through?

Congratulations to the team on the win. I thought the gold livery on the #14 looked great. The pair of LMP2's that passed Jack on either side through Sunset was awesome..

Good news if you have a Max subscription. I have Max through Xfinity. Having to watch LeMans on Motortrend was a hassle with their endless commercials for the same programs on their channel. https://racer.com/2024/02/21/fia-wec-confirms-u-s-coverage-on-max/ EDIT: Well turns out there is a...

Tough luck for the #14. There was nowhere for Mike to go with a spinning LMP2 right in front of him. Kudos for the #12 being in the mix right up until it all went up in flames, literally.

I would have thought they would make some exterior changes at the same time.

I thought we might get the new powertrain in '25 when the UX is scheduled for a refresh. Generally when Lexus has an earlier than normal model introduction like they did with the '24 UX it means that a refresh is right around the corner. I think the '21 NX came out earlier than normal which was...

Mike did the team rebuild the #14 after Ben's close encounter with the Michelin sign or just leave it as is? I was curious if they would want it intact for team photos etc. at the celebration.

Ah ok, because I was going to ask if that is Iridium or Ether.

I would probably guess shipments should begin sometime in the first quarter of 2024.

Then the car should debut in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in January of 2026. I just thought it was odd to only say WEC and not mention IMSA.

Surely they will run in IMSA too.

I think that is a safe bet. With the current RX Luxury pkg around 65k and the 500h at 72k, I would think the TX will probably start around that 70k mark and the 500h about 77k or so.

I understand this was a launch event and there was only the one GX there. But I would like to see some live footage a non Overtrail model since I think that is where the bulk of sales are going to come from. Still pictures are great but a live walkaround would be better.
