Lexus F-Sport Driving Event Offers Rides in LFA Supercar

Posted Today 10:00 AM by Steve Diehlman

Want to test out the entire Lexus F-Sport line, and possibly score a ride in the vaulted LFA Supercar? Head to Lexus' F-Sport driving event, which will take place November 12 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

Attendees will have a chance at driving the entire F-Sport line, which includes not only the burly IS F sport sedan, but IS, IS C, and GS models fitted with F-Sport performance parts. If that's not enough, all guests are eligible to win a hot lap in the all-new LFA, piloted by famed race driver Scott Pruett.

Those interested in attending can register at LexusF-Event.com; those who intend to drive the F-sport range must be 18 or older and carry a valid U.S. driver's license. The event runs from noon until 6 p.m, but the last available session begins at 4:45 p.m...

Damn. It's a ten-hour flight away for me. But uhm... a chance to win a hot lap? That sounds a bit... ****ty. I mean, at a Dodge event we had here everyone could have a hot lap in a Hennessey Venom Viper.

Ah, but did that Dodge event feature a hot lap with a race car driver ?

This hot lap you win you get to ride with Scott Pruett in the LFA.

It was the instructor who basically owns one of the best performance driving schools in Quebec... I don't know who Scott Pruett is, so I can't compare.

I don't recall seeing you post even a single comment in all of the LFA threads since the car was introduced in the Tokyo Auto Show last month, so I assume you're not interested, much less excited with the LFA ?

I was busy that week and never made it around to posting in that thread.

I do like it and appreciate it considering it is the first Japanese supercar from one of my favorite companys. However, I'm not blown away by it either. Until I see comparison tests and more data, I think its just as good as current offerings (with a higher price tag), but not better.

With that said, until I can afford one, I certainly wouldnt mind at least experiencing it.
