Default Lexus LFA #475 1080P videos of track time at NOLA Motorsports on 10/23/13

My apologies for the long wait for videos, but been pretty busy these past months. Hope you enjoy the videos in it's purity. You will notice that I did go off track during one of the sessions but the car is absolutely fine with no damage to the undercarriage or front because the track was very flat.

Have a wonderful and safe holidays!

The second video is the best since you can hear the sound very clearly. The third video could have also been great as well, if there had been no wind noise.

It is great that the videos were in their raw form without any music or anything so the listener can truly appreciate how amazing the sound is.

On a side note, looks like you were the best driver there since you were kicking the a** of the two white Nurburgring Edition LFAs that were following you. The could not keep up with you in the corners or on the straight.

It's hard to get the wind noise out with the go pros but it's not too bad. I have a unit that just does noise recording but I need to figure out how to get it working. LoL. I wouldn't say I was the best driver but more daring to push the car. I did pass the two nurburgring editions but I didn't pay attention to one line and that's how I went off track. Heh. Overall it was a great event hosted by Lexus!

Haha I think I did. My friend who's a manager at the Lexus dealership where I bought the vehicle at is holding it for me. I wasn't sure I would be home to accept it. But my friend told me it is something very special!

Yeah, it would be cool to see the roof mounted camera video without the wind noise.

Also, is it just me or I noticed half way through the video, the tires started to lose traction probably because of getting too greasy as it seems tires were breaking away at the limit a lot more easily?

Yeah there were some moments during the track that I had to correct the car for fear of losing control but that probably is my fault for missing the driving lines, apex, braking zones, etc.

I wouldn't say Kicking A$$ since I was in 1 of the NRings. I let him pass being courteous but I also have the video of him taking his LFA offroad when he was kicking so much A$$, and I was right behind him.
Also something to think about is the fact that we are driving expensive cars on the track for fun, and nobody that I know that was there was out to wreck so the guys i knew all had the common respect to space out properly in case something did go wrong.
