Went to Ultimate driving. Was a blast.
There was a Theory class,
Lead follow was 2 sets of 2 laps basically keeping up with instructor
Timed team rally race, a few warm up laps and then 1 lap each person with team cumulative time.
Timed autocross was 2 warmup laps and to runs for best of.
Craziest thing tho was definately the hot laps, 2 laps with pro driver behind the wheel. Really pushed the car, really fun.

I attended both the Ultimate event on Friday with my father and the free Driving Academy with my wife on Saturday and had an amazing time each day. I took a ton of pics and a few vids, but forgot my memory card reader at home. I'll try and post up a bit of a review with the pics ASAP after I get back home to MI.

Did they let you push the car? Did anyone with previous HP driving experience go (autocross, HPDE, PDX, etc)? Was it a real autox course or just a bunch of cone lanes?

If you read the comments above you, it would have given you a huge hint of how the event was administered. Plus a lot of questions you asked were already answered in the FAQ on the main Lexus Performance Driving Academy webpage.

This was the most fun i had in quite some time. I strongly reccomend that everyone should attedn if possible. They give out an excellent goody bag with an IS-F hat, Ipod cable, magazines, brochures etc. Lexus did a great job with this.
