LEXUS RC F made waves recently at the 2016 Autobacs Super GT series by winning twin podium finishes. The Lexus camp lit up with celebrations at the Round 3 of the 2016 AUTOBACS SUPER GT 250 km race held at the Motegi Twin Ring in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.

The race was originally scheduled to be run at Autopolis circuit in May. However, due to the aftermath of the Kumamoto Earthquakes in April this year, the location and date were changed. The rescheduling saw the Round 3 qualifier and race both held on the same day — a first in the history of SUPER GT.

The reasons to cheer were plenty in the GT500 class of the race as the Lexus line-up of drivers displayed an exhilarating performance, securing positions from the sixth all the way up to the runners-up spot.

Almost clinching the top spot was the No 39 DENSO KOBELCO SARD Lexus RC F driven by Heikki Kovalainen and Kohei Hirate, followed by Daisuke Ito and Nick Cassidy who gave their No 36 au TOM’s Lexus RC F just the right amount of push for a podium finish in the third place.

No 6 WAKO’S 4CR Lexus RC F and No 19 WedsSport ADVAN Lexus RC F claimed the fourth and fifth position, with ZENT CERUMO Lexus RC F closing the proceedings for Lexus with a sixth place finish in the exciting race.
