[jruhi4]

Surely a number of you harbor fond memories of the Lexus IS F Performance Driving Events that, during 2008 visited both Auto Club Speedway in Fontana and Laguna Seca Raceway in Salinas, California. Now, nearly two years later, automotive fans will be able to relive the thrill of experiencing Lexus' performance-oriented models in a racetrack setting as the carmaker proudly announces the Lexus F-brand Track Event (alternately known as the Lexus F-Sport Driving Event). This is an exclusive opportunity to experience the dynamic handling and performance of Lexus F Performance vehicles – including the IS F, and F-Sport-equipped IS, IS C and GS models. More notably, the winningest American professional sports car race driver ever, Scott Pruett will take a few select enthusiasts on the ride of their lives as he drives the pinnacle of Japanese automotive achievement, the Lexus LFA on hot laps on the track. The new LFA boasts a 4.8-liter, 552 hp V10 engine and lightweight carbon fiber chassis that rockets to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and tops out at over 200 mph!

Lexus invites you to take advantage of this one-day opportunity to experience Lexus IS F and F-Sport vehicles on a custom autocross course at Southern California’s premiere track—Auto Club Speedway (formerly known as California Speedway) at 9300 Cherry Avenue in Fontana, California on Thursday 12 November 2009. The event will run from 12 Noon to 6 PM, but you must register for one of the 10 available sessions, which start every 30 minutes. The first session starts at 12:15 PM, the second at 12:45 PM and so on until the final session that starts at 4:45 PM. All participating drivers must be 18 years of age or older with a valid U.S. Driver’s License.

All registered guests present on the day of the event are eligible to win a hot lap with Scott Pruett driving the all-new F Performance flagship, the breathtakingly fast LFA. Winners will be chosen at random from each session, and actual odds of winning are dependent on the total number of session attendees.
