Lexus RC F GT3 ready to race in Detroit

Lexus and AIM VASSER SULLIVAN are set to compete at Detroit's Raceway at Belle Isle Park in a 100-minute sprint race on Saturday, coming off the team's first victory earlier this month at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
 
Jack Hawksworth and Richard Heistand drove the AVS #14 Lexus RC F GT3 to victory at Mid-Ohio, marking the first IMSA victory for the newly formed team in just its third race and the third win for Lexus since entering IMSA competition in 2017. The win was the first for Heistand in IMSA competition and the second IMSA victory for Hawksworth, who also won his first IMSA start at the Indianapolis Grand Prix circuit in 2014.

Lexus currently leads the new GTD Sprint Cup point standings following the first sprint race of the season at Mid-Ohio. Hawksworth and Heistand and the AVS #14 Lexus RC F GT3 are also atop the GTD Sprint Cup point standings following their win at Mid-Ohio, while Townsend Bell and Frankie Montecalvo currently sit fifth in the Sprint Cup standings following a fifth-place finish at Mid-Ohio.
