Default Lexus LFA #475 track day at Autoclub Speedway in Fontana 05-03-13

Took both the GT-R and LFA to the track with my friend. Here is a compilation of videos that my friend put together with our go pro's. We manage to hit 160~mph on the straight away. . It was a blast driving both cars. I managed to run out of fuel on the LFA on the track but still could limp the car out by driving it to my rest area. LoL Well hope you all enjoy! . I plan to make some better videos when I get a crew together.

Great video the LFA really shines at ACS with the high speed banking. You should always try to start a HPDE event with a full tank because every vehicle was aligned with a full tank in the design stage. Normally we race with a full tank or half tank so we don't run out of fuel and to keep the fuel pump cool.

It did have a full tank at the start but by session 3 it was on empty...maybe all the 150+mph runs on the straightaway and bank.

That was incredible! I loved the straight section when you floored it, and left what looked like the FR-S behind you. Thanks for sharing!
