Lexus LF-A Racing Prototype confirmed for 24 Hour Nürburgring Race
May 12, 2008
The Lexus LF-A Racing prototype has been confirmed as an entrant into the the Nurburgring 24 hour endurance challenge next month. The race, officially called the 36th ADAC Zurich 24h Race 2008, will take place in Germany on May 23-24.
Although it seems contrary to the idea of racing, Toyota also announced that they would not be looking to win the race, but rather will be using the experience to aid development of the supercar, with the hope to gain some new feedback of the production model.
Disappointingly, it doesn't look like the production model LF-A will be announced at the race, which had been rumored previously, but this is still an incredibly positive step in the right direction.
