Shinichi Takagi, a veteran with decades in the series, and co-driver Morio Nitta contested the full 2024 campaign at circuits including Okayama, Fuji, Suzuka, Autopolis, Sugo and Motegi. Spark Model has documented their effort in resin at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"lexus-rc-f-gt3-platform\"\u003eThe Lexus RC F GT3: a V8 in an era of turbos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RC F GT3 is built on the Z10-generation RC F coupe body and homologated to FIA GT3 regulations, with development handled by TOM'S and GreenBrave. Its engine is the 2UR-GSE 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, the same unit found in the road car, tuned and restricted to comply with Super GT GT300 Balance of Performance rules. In a grid increasingly populated by turbocharged machinery, the RC F's V8 character remains a distinctive engineering choice. The road car measures 4,710 mm in length, and GT3 regulations require the racing silhouette to mirror the production bodywork closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"k-tunes-racing-2024\"\u003eK-Tunes Racing and the 2024 GT300 season\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK-Tunes Racing has run the Lexus RC F GT3 in the GT300 class across multiple Super GT seasons, making them one of the more consistent custodians of the nameplate in Japanese club-level GT racing. Car number 96 is the team's registered entry, and Shinichi Takagi has been a long-standing fixture in the driving seat. The 2024 livery carried the K-Tunes corporate identity colours. The season spanned eight rounds, and the pairing of Takagi's experience with Nitta's pace represented the team's standard two-driver GT300 structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"spark-model-143-rc-f-gt3\"\u003eThe Spark Model 1:43 scale model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e scale model is part of Spark Model's ongoing Super GT series, which covers both GT500 and GT300 entries from each season. Spark produces these replicas in resin, a material well suited to capturing the aerodynamic detailing of GT3 bodywork at this scale — splitters, diffusers and livery graphics included. The series is targeted primarily at the Japanese motorsport collector market, and distribution outside Japan is limited, which historically results in constrained long-term availability for the GT300 entries in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet-context\"\u003eIn the display cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe No. 96 RC F GT3 fits naturally alongside other Spark Super GT GT300 entries from the 2024 season, as well as K-Tunes Racing liveries from earlier campaigns. A broader Lexus-focused shelf might pair it with the LC500 GT500 entries from the same season, while a grid-level display could include the rival Honda NSX GT3 and Nissan Z GT500 models from Spark's same-year release programme. For collectors with an interest in Japanese privateer GT racing, the consistent K-Tunes identity across seasons makes multi-year groupings a coherent and visually unified option.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPARK MODEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56285724279168,"sku":"SGT184","price":78.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-sgt184-front34.jpg?v=1792084471","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/lexus-rc-f-gt3-team-k-tunes-racing-n-96-gt300-class-super-gt-2024-morio-nitta-shinichi-takagi-191561","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
