So brash calls for them to build it are okay, but someone taking a less douchebag approach and saying that they like it are not okay (as evidenced by the pointless boost/deboost system)?

It's okay though, it's only an internet forum. It's not like anyone here is expected to have any sense.

LF-A is certainly getting closer to production. If Toyota manage to win a race this season in F1 and unveil the production LF-A in the celebratory event it would be nice.

"commercial release"? What does that mean exactly?

Looks pretty dull for an exotic. It looked better with the camo on, seriously.

94th spot right now with about 6 laps left. They did qualify 23 and 24th.

It was quite a bit quicker than the "almost stock" Aston Martin V12s, but quite a bit slower than the actual GT3 race cars (Audi R8 LMS/911 GT3) Hard to know the extent of the modifications on the Lexus, making the comparisons not very useful.

Not the best overall effort nevertheless.
