Toyota has annouced Lexus SC430 and Supra will race together in the 2006 SUPER GT series.

4 brand new SC430 will be used next year, the remaining toyotas are supra, however the teams planning to using new cars haven’t been decided. The shakedown test of SC 430 will be kick-off today on Fuji Speedway.

It’s probably going to have the Lexus V8 in it, although which variation I’m not sure. They didn’t mention engine displacement anywhere.

:tup: to broadening the racing field. And Kyle, I thought you hated SCs 😛 😃

Glad to see Toyota wisening up though. With this and the IS350 going into the American LeMans series I can only hope this means some good things coming in the near future… like a new Supra??? [/wishful thinking]

No no…I will always have a soft spot for full weight luxury liners.
