Interesting news from NOVEL Racing Japan on a Wide Body Motorsports oriented Lexus RC-F, its currently under development for debut next month at Nürburgring. No word on if it will even be made available to the public, but it is great to see a manufacturer doing more advanced testing on their products using CAD and computer generated wind simulations.

I'll be there and hope to get some close-ups in the paddock. Looking forward to the first VLN race of the season!

I'm not on instagram, but would be glad to send you pics for posting on social media of your choosing.

 

Great if you wouldnt mind sending it to louie@modinjapan.com when you see it. We definitely wish we could be there for VLN should be pretty awesome.

 

Novel, is perhaps going to be using the RCF as their new race car platform. Which could possibly mean more goodies from Novel such as an ECU tune Similar path they took with their ISF track car.

 

The more, the merrier! ECU tune just for JDM ECUs?

 

Anything from Novel is a lot of $$$$. Their products are outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing the end results from them. Also, I would love to get my hands on the GT3 Widebody Kit. Can you imagine seeing that on public roads?

 

Very cool. I assume it requires cuting of oem fenders?

 

I hope so, seems like Tom's is moving to the LC 500 as their "halo" platform.

 

Looks like both front and rear will require cutting to fit the bigger wheels
