Lexus won’t be lining up to race in V8 Supercars – but it’s still a possibility.
The company clarified that it will continue supplying the series with support cars, but won’t be no the grid.
“V8 Supercars remains a strong interest for Lexus and we will keenly watch how the sport evolves with the new regulations in 2017,” said Lexus Australia boss Sean Hanley.

The championship’s 2017 Gen2 regulations open the book on new engine and body configurations.
“At this stage we will not enter V8 Supercars as a competitor, but we are delighted to continue providing high performance Lexus support vehicles,” said Hanley.
Lexus currently supplies V8 Supercars with the RC F V8 safety car.
