I wonder if apr racing will put a hybrid system onto their Lexus LC500, or it's already fitted to the car?

I think they said itd be a hybrid. I think its the LC500h model(?) they're using but it has the race engine. We'll see soon.

Thank you. Looks like it's confirmed that the LC500 GT300 car will have a hybrid system after all.

Meanwhile, looks like Honda will use the Civic platform (known as Honda Civic Type R-GT Concept) for next year's Super GT season.

It's a humiliation to run a Civic against Supra and Fairlady. They have Integra - why not? Or is it a first step in a transition to Yaris and Note with a whole reform to JAF GT300 become a leading class?

I had the same thoughts on the civic in GT500. How far Honda has gone downhill (imo) on the sportscar side. Im honestly more interested in the JAF GT300 cars. Theyre the spirit of what GT500 used to be pre-dtm style cars.

On a brighter side, apr say (as far as I understand) they are not finished with Prius. They just had no time to build one. I hope they'll try to make a racing version of the car that looks cosmic even in a standard trim.

PS R&D of Lexus is going to be a talking point for 2023 for sure. That's why I rank Super GT as the best modern racing championship (aside from minor club racing where they still have constructors' battles).

Problem is that the revived Integra is Civic-based and I don't know if they will be sold in Japan.

Why is it okay to race with Prius but not okay to race with Civic?

IIRC Integra is a liftback version of the Civic hatchback/sedan, it's not even a 3-door coupe.
