Lexus RC F GT3 is Here to Kick Some Ass!

Lexus RC F GT3 will participate in the this year's US-based IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship . This step marks brand's confident step in developing and using the special purpose-built V8-powered sport vehicle.

In fact, the RC F GT3 will also be campaigned in the whole event by Michigan-based F Performance Racing, owned and managed by Trans-Am Series champion and motorsport veteran Paul Gentilozzi. The F Performance Racing effort will also assist the process of achieving FIA GT3 homologation, allowing the car to enter even wider variety of race events.
