[QUOTE=rominl;9588073]looks like it will be their cars, not yours.

i joined the half day F school when ISF arrived. honestly, it was far from impressive, i almost felt it was money wasted. not enough 1-1 time, not enough freedom for individual development. comparing it to the M school (full day) it was night and day

Yeah that ISF school was pretty lame, I don't mind driving to Fontana if it's free though.

 

[QUOTE=Byprodrive;9593706]they do have the sunday short event (maybe 1/2 hr?) that's free, but likely you will just do autox and maybe ride along on the track? just a guess

 

Hey guys, I got this code on a email blast, got me 20% off:
LEXUSPERFORMANCE I also emailed the concierge and the half and full days includes food and beverage. I think the free day is mope of a marketing tease for the actually full day. No?

 

good info!

the free day one honestly i think it's just some very short autox in the fsport, i don't know if they will have a lot of f cars to drive. and it seems like they are expecting people to stay for 1-2 hrs

 

Registered for the free one - will report back how it goes.
From my experience Lexus always puts on on nice Events.

 

Hey guys, using this URL http://lexusfperformancedrivingschoo...mpaign=LPDS015 you can get a 50% discount! For IL and FL only I think. Code is LEXUSPDSVIP50

 

I registered for the free one too. Going with a friend. Hope i can ride the GS F on the track. It's next week for me.

 

Keep up posted how the event goes, I'm signed up for the February event

 

Got there early for the palm beach one, it was lightning and raining so they told us to stay in car but when it cleared we were able to auto cross, u dont learn much from the instructors, just the basics. we were able to auto cross one time around the cone track and it started lightning again, on the auto cross track they gave us an IS350 Fsport and a RC350 Fsport. on the other side was the palm beach track, we were able to drive RC-F's and GS-F's twice around the track with a instructor lead car. I went in with a partner a random person that was there at the event since my friend couldnt make it, once you're done with 2 laps you switch off with the passenger and it's their turn.

So overall they let you drive the car by yourself without basically much teaching you.

PS my friend that had the later time told me since it was cleared of weather they were able to run the auto cross track multiple times which was fun.

the express experience

 

sounds very similar to previous events.

did they give you coupon for future purchases?

 

no they didnt

 

Can anyone get a hold of the office?

I need to change a registration time and I am unable to get a hold of them!

 

that's a little disappointing. one thing i really like about their previous performance events was the incentive afterwards to get like 500 or 1000 off any vehicle purchase

 

I will be doing the Express Experience as well in Joliet, IL. I currently have a RC350 F-Sport as a loaner while mine is in the shop for minor tweaks. I do not really fit in the RC (6'4" 235#) so I may have to figure out whether or not I simply defer to the GS or if I should stuff myself into the RC for the short time I am there.

Has anyone here driven an RC350 F-Sport? I thought the two cars would be similar in their driving characteristics, particularly the acceleration. That was not the case. Driving them back-to-back, it's hard to like the RC as there is not the same exhaust note or force during hard acceleration. That being said, it turns way more heads then my GS350 F-sport.

 

Just got back from Driving school. IT was great. I loved it. i think Lexus did an amazing job focusing on maximizing ride time.
The GS F is awesome. ALso got to see the prototype LC 500 in person which was nice. I can post more pics if you guys want.
