Still scratching my head about that if the last year for the RCF is 2023… I had someone from a dealership told me that.

Hm... I guess sales will still flow onto 2024 so perhaps that won't be too big of a deal. But the new racecar to be revealed in 2025 is unexpected.

I was hoping Jack could hold off the #79 but it just seemed like it was a matter of time before the Mercedes passed him.

The RC F GT3 just will never have that same outright speed. The team affectionately call them the “war pigs”. Big heavy race cars. It’s amazing they perform to sell, a testament to the teamwork involved.

Jack is an absolutely amazing driver. Been with the team since day one!

The 911R was almost down 100hp compared to RC-F GT3. Just shows how good that chassis is. The RC-F would have no chance if not for the generous BOP. They need the LFR chassis ASAP.

But 2x38mm restrictors for the 911R is way too much. Now the 911R will destroy everyone on the straights as well.

KAMUI!!!!

I'm one that leaves famous people alone when I see them but I think I would have at least asked for a handshake from the legendary Kobayashi.

Chaotic finish but it was a strange race overall. Lots of cars spinning on their own, etc. I was hoping all 8 GTP cars would finish like at Daytona but that didn't happen.

I know that wasn't you, but you took a picture of Kazuki Nakajima. There is no way you weren't close with him or did not meet him. You're @mikeavelli for crying out loud......

ALSO......

OH MYY GOD THERE'S MORE PICTURES OF KAZUKI AND THE TOYOTA GUYS. AND... AND... THERE'S KAMUI. 😍😍

It's not really about Lexus but Rookie Racing is still associated with Toyota, so I decided to share it here.

Yes, you're seeing this right, Rookie Racing is fielding a Mercedes AMG GT GT3 for this year's Super Taikyu series. My guess is this might part of the development for the production version of the GR GT3 concept, benchmarking other car manufacturer's super long nose, front engine RWD sports car that is built on a dedicated sports car platform under racing conditions, some more it's the version built for racing in the GT3 class.
