And finally: With the next set of GT-rules still TBA it doesn't make much sense to develop a car right now. You might just wake up one day to the shocking news that there's an actual rulebook that you have to adhere to. That being said: I am sure they can easily develop a club-racing version with somewhat GT3-like performance, I just doubt they'll ever see a proper GT3-homologation. |

Probably because it has a bigger market, the GT4 are a little bit stuck now, probably that category is having a big identity problem (....and there are no Ferraris for the glentemen ).
You can buy a Seat Leon spending a half of a GT4 and the time lap will be very close. .......Of course it won´t have the same glamour of one Aston Martin , but that's the main problem of the GT4. The Morgan Aero GT3 hasn't exactly a modern shape and it was fast enough. But yes, you're true, it will need an aero improvement |

This looks like it fits GT500/DTM more than GT3 to me, but hey ho: http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/lex...e-la-rc-f-gt3/

Have to agree Rodger my first thought was that it was the slightly younger brother of the DTM car.
That said, welcome aboard Lexus!! |

The 'no saloons in GT racing' brigade will be outraged. Admittedly I don't know enough about the base car to have any thoughts.

The base car is BMW M4 fighter. Its a two door luxury sports coupe. As far as saloons, its smaller than that two door two ton Bentley, but they look great too!

I think I can compare the Lexus RC-F GT3 to the Nissan GT-R in terms of proportions, except that it's more like a beefier version of the GT86.

To answer your question TheNo1F1Fan, it'll be in 2015. Super GT, I'm not sure, but probably. Quote:

assuming Honda are already considering it with the NSX, I can't think that there are too many manufacturers left, I'd rather focus on keeping the ones that are there interested.

technically speaking, if it's homologated in 2015 it can be eligible for BES and many, many other championships in 2015. However, I imagine they may struggle to sell too many of these in the first year without a very good support package.

Curious, they won't let in the LFA, but the next step down yes (According to the LFA not longer being produced its logical, tough the Ford GT GT3/1 lived 8 years after production). There are three or four different levels on GT3 Cars according to the Road Cars, unfair to compare them with the Mclaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini. |
