Still, you can only beat what's put in front of you. Hopefully the RC-Fs will maintain this performance throughout the season.

I do think that Lexus's presence along with the grid size made GT Open fun to watch. Good comeback for the series. IGTO is a relevant series for the first time since 2013 during the GTE/GT3 interclass battles.
