LOL at chev


There pretty good there the C-6s and have won that class at LeMan before.I been watching alot of LFA Nurburgring VLN footage of late and seriously if they got the LFA down to about 1250-1350KG I think it would win that 24 hour race and beat all the Cup Porsches Audi's and what not because they crushed the New Aston Martin Zagato's in Sp8 trim and the GTR that turned up at the last VLN race.

Just saw some interesting info on the club lexus forums they have pics up of a LFA being prepped for LeMan apprently it has been built at the old F-1 facility in Cologne.Unsure which motor its running but people are speculating a the V-8 motor out of the IS-F running 650 odd HP 525 Ft/Lb or torque.

They only reason I can think of for running the V8 would be to fit in some hybrid stuff to fit into a certain class.

I think the article said they were in GT2..

I'm just happy Toyota have decided to enter some sought of serious motorsport again and with all the setup work in the VLN and 24 hour races at the Nurburgring I think this will hold them in good stead for LeMan.
