I'm totally excited. I'm headed to the Lexus IS Precision Tour http://isprecisiontour.com tomorrow at Infineon Raceway. I can't think of anything better than to drive an ISF that is not mine (no wear and tear) on the race track at someone elses expense. There is also a chance that I will get a ride with a professional driver around the course in the LFA.

I'm also looking forward to experiencing the suspension differences and LSD in the 2011 that my 2008 does not have.

I'll post pictures.

Is this by invitation only? If so how can I invite myself?

+1.

actually ended up in the same session as the (legendary) Joe Z. my guest and i had a blast. i personally enjoyed the follow-the-leader session and instructor hot-laps in the IS-F's.

if anything, it made me think about trading up to one...

So great to hear it was a good time. I'm taking my Old Man with me and I'm certain it will be the fastest he has ever been in a car! LOL.

How does it work with the IS350's and ISF's? Owning an ISF I'm not really interested in driving the IS350, do you get to pick, do they choose, do you drive both?

Also, did you get a ride in the LFA? How does that work?

I'm a bit hazy on the details, just got a private invite and knew that I HAD TO GO!

it really doesn't matter what car you own, as long as you're registered to attend.

here's what i remember from last weekend @ fontana:

they started the session @ ground school where they taught as much as they can in 15 minutes (possibly less) about performance driving dynamics.

the session was split into two for two separate activities. one was an auto-X course where half the session takes two practice laps in the f-sport editions of the is250 and a timed hot lap in the f-sport is350. fastest time in the auto-X course of the session earns a ride-along in the LFA (scott pruett was on hand to whip the LFA around in fontana).

the other activity was two-fold. one was a lead-and-follow session in the IS-F's, and after that the instructors jump into the IS-F's that just driven around by the attendees and show how it's really done.

i recommend leaving the expectations and home. that way, you come away with a positive experience.

Lucky! I tried calling for a spot but they said it was full - I'm a huge fan of the LFA, I even went to '09 Tokyo Motor Show to see its debut. Have fun and take pics!

When was this event published, I went to the first one a couple years ago and went out and purchased my F, and would have loved to attend another and abuse someone else's car.

Same here. I looked online and apparently they're all full now. I never even heard about it.

I went to the one here in Atlanta two years ago - I got a $750 off coupon I used when I traded my 350 for the F.

I heard it went FULL 24 hours after they released the dates in late January..

It was FULL for me to when i tired to sign up online.

But I called in, put my name on the waiting list..
Sure enough a few days before they event, they called me and said "Come on down"

Too bad they didn't do the paid full day program again. I'd love to do that now that I've got some seat time on the track in my F. The $200 was well worth it. There was plenty of room in that program.
