Who's to say that Lexus wont just pull the plug and find a new suitor? Plenty to be had.

I'm a little surprised one of the parts of the discovery process in finding a team wasn't "What is the character of this organization and its leadership?" Or better yet "Do they have any impending or ongoing litigation?" Or perhaps a phone call to some old friends in the paddock (this isn't Lexus' first IMSA/GA rodeo) to ask "Should we be getting into bed with 3GT?"
