KayGee, thanks for the great write-up!

Bit surprised they didn't provide more instruction but like you say, wouldn't have been appropriate (covid) to be in the cars with you, but maybe they could have used GoPros or something to know what you were doing to give some more specific feedback.

Sounds like a great time though.

That's not just Lexus - it's most every high performance driving school or group since COVID. It's nearly all been lead/follow type instruction which isn't nearly as educational. There are onsey-twosey still doing in-car instruction but not many.

KayGee once this lets up I'll reach out next time we're down at Road Atlanta and a HPDE is going on to see if you want to join us.

Cool. Was your experience similar to mine? I’d be curious to read your observations

So it wasn’t the fact that my superior driving skills didn’t require any improvement? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😎

Heck yeah. As long as my schedule permits I’m all over that.

I think that I have posted more words in this thread than I have in all the last 20 years that I’ve been registered with CL. Time for me to go back into witness protection :hide

First we're honored.
Second, it shows your enthusiasm for the awesome Lexus performance cars and the driving experience.
Third, don't hide as much.

if they only had a few hundred miles on them i'd guess they were '20 or '21 and doubt it indicates what they prefer, just what's available.

KayGee, what i would like to know is did the LCs have the performance/dynamic handling package and did you notice any differences from your own?

All of the LC's on the track were fully optioned Performance Packages. These LC's have run both on Laguna Seca, COTA and the various Lexus Drive Experience events across the country.
