Lexus RC F GT3 US First Public Introduction Could be Postponed Because it's not Fast Enough

The first public Introduction of the Lexus RC F GT3 race automobile on American lands could be postponed because at the moment it’s not fast enough.

The Lexus RC F GT3 race automobile has been battling in numerous sports episodes all over the world this season, fine tuning became the platform of development to make the car competitive. Recently the automobile had the debut race in Europe at Nurburgring with the factory RC F GT3 racing autos from Farnbacher Racing and Emil Frey Racing passing laps, which is more than 11 seconds off the pole of the leading Mercedes-AMG GT3 in their class. In Japan, the RC F GT3 takes part in the competition in the Super GT GT300 category and has showed itself as much as 2.5 seconds off the pace.

In consequence, Lexus don’t need hurry up to compete for the championship in IMSA’s TUDOR United Sports Car Championship series. The season 2016 will meet the GT Daytona class, which switches over to GT3 peculiarities and though the company originally planned the rolling out at round 1 at Daytona, it could be possible only after the first two races which show its endurance that the RC F GT3 takes complete shape around May 2016.

Say in different way, the Lexus RC F GT3 is having hard times maintaining with current race automobiles, it doesn’t seem perfect for Lexus to hurry up to be ready to the season, particularly because the championship will be opened with two quite long endurance races – Daytona and Sebring. Crews are still waiting for news about who will steer the Lexus RC F GT3 in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship with help from Toyota Racing Development USA.
