Lexus competes in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with the Lexus RC F GT3. The Lexus Racing program, along with that car, made its IMSA GT racing debut at the 2017 Rolex 24 At Daytona.

Vasser Sullivan (VS) fields two (2) Lexus entries, with one competing in the GT Daytona PRO (GTD PRO) Class as the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3, and the other in GT Daytona (GTD) as the No. 12. Since Lexus and VS began their partnership for the 2019 season through the end of 2024, they have earned 15 wins, 43 podium finishes, and 23 poles. In 2023, this pairing secured the crowning achievement of the program’s history by winning the IMSA GTD PRO Manufacturer, Team, and Driver Championships with the No. 14 driven by Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat for the full season campaign.

Lexus has also won some of the most prestigious endurance races on the IMSA schedule, and in the world, with victories in the 12 Hours of Sebring (2024 – GTD PRO), Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta (2022 – GTD PRO), and a historic double-victory for both cars at the Six Hours of the Glen (2023 – GTD PRO and GTD). The Lexus RC F GT3 also won two races, earned three podium finishes and five pole positions in the GTD class across 2017 and 2018. Prior to that, Lexus-powered Prototypes (racing in what is now known as the GTP Class) enjoyed success in American sports car competition from 2004 to 2009. Lexus V8 motors powered Chip Ganassi Racing to victory in 25 races, including three consecutive Rolex 24 at Daytona overall wins from 2006 to 2008.

Lexus began its journey in 1989 with two luxury sedans and a commitment to pursue perfection. Since then, Lexus has developed its lineup to meet the needs of global luxury customers in more than 90 countries. In the United States, Lexus vehicles are sold through more than 240 dealers offering a full lineup of luxury vehicles. The Lexus F performance story began in 2008 with the launch of the IS F sedan, and later the limited production, iconic LFA coupe in 2012. The current Lexus high performance line includes the RC F, IS 500 and LC 500, with F performance influences reaching into most of the vehicles featured in the complete Lexus lineup.
