This video is an old one from last year's Goodwood - the youtube user is being lame and just reposted it while changing the name/description to claim it's a delivery event.

Really ?? Lame if this is the case.. LoL

Scanning right now for the orginal and can't find this one..

The poster is indeed from United Kingdom.

Plus I see a White LFA, Silver LFA and three IS-F's...

Was there an event like this already in the UK ?

Hmm I actually could be wrong about it, I didn't see that the LFA was silver. The Goodwood media thing was with a red and white LFA, right? There are tons of videos from that one because they let several media outlets drive that day. But yeah, I think it was just a red one and a white one.

Funny it's an LHD too.

^^ Right on.. those were Red & White for the UK Media/Press drives.

So hopefully we will get more details on this Vidoe soon...

It's like a FULL ON "Media BLITZ" this week for the LFA..

This video seems to be similar or during the same event as this video posted in the end of January in the LFA videos thread.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABzcxTkcizg

The British driver looks very tame compared to the other driver (with the record fastest lap on Goodwood) who was just pushing the LFA to the extreme limits. I think it is Ikia Ida in that video who is Toyota's Nurburgring 24-hours endurance racer.

yeah someone on another forum said Akira Iida was the driver. He's pretty qualified to ring the best out of the LFA seeing as how he was one of the race drivers. His lap of 1:22.xx with a passenger was just great. Imagine what he could do without a passenger.

Yes, he is one hell of a driver. One of the best I have seen. He is pushing the car so far to the limits yet, looks at the passenger when he talks. LOL

Kinos hita is a good driver as well. And Juichi Wakisaka as well. They were among the LFA's race drivers- mostly SuperGT drivers.
