It's no secret that the GT2 class has been downright thrilling this season, but consider what it could have been this year. Before the 2006 season began, the buzz was all about Lexus and their 2 car GT2 effort. The IS350 models sat race-ready in their garages, but never so much as reached the track. Unfortunately, it seems that differences between Toyota Racing Development and Team Lexus led to the project being scrapped. Extremely unfortunate, considering that this team could have done great things in the series.
This season, LG Motorsports had disappeared from the series ever since Utah. They've missed the last 2 races and don't appear on the Road America entry list. I couldn't find any explanation, so perhaps they will return for bigger events like the Petit Le Mans in the fall.
