I would not call this a lap, but a stroll instead.

Yes, it is a bad angle. The wheels are not tucked in that much at all. Look at the videos of the car at Goodwood. They're a tiny bit tucked in, "like a stock Camry" is a big exaggeration.

Quite a few race cars have slightly tucked in wheels, are we going to start calling race cars "like a Camry" as well?

The Nurburgring edition of the LFA is a more hardcore track version of the LFA. Having very slightly tucked in wheels definitely serves a purpose, either for aerodynamics or something else.

The guru himself Akira Iida is there this year at Goodwood. I cannot wait to see an in-cabin video of Akira blasting through the Goodwood circuit.

Yeah, I think the track was a bit wet so he was not pushing it to the maximum.

I also think the beep can be disabled as well.

Nothing to do with the angle at all........ok let me take the Camry thing back, it tucked in like a stock LS600hL, feels better now?

Like I said before, its probably just increased camber. The Ring edition is spectacular. IMO that's the way the LFA SHOULD look, the wheels and aero mods set it off.

You mean the Ring edition is suppose to have tucked in wheels that is bagging for some 25mm spacers?

But then is just an opinion/personal preferences, maybe you like tucked in wheels.

I like my exotic cars to have flushed wheels/tires.........aka GT3 RS/599 GTO.

You should get your eyes checked! J/K I don't see the 'tuck' you say. It's called CAMBER angle. They didn't make a lowrider, it's a track car. The videos show the 'tuck' you talk about as a non-issue.
