Default Lexus Performance Driving School

Just back from Auto Club Speedway in Fontana this weekend for my first ever driving event. I did the half day event and figured I would share some pictures and videos. Best place to thrash someone else's car!
https://lexusfperformancedrivingschool.com/


intro and wrap up are pretty informal




lined up ready to go! Can you spot the GS F in parked cars behind these?



timed autocross



skid pad and drifting the RC F's



Track time



All lined up at the end of the day




Lots of rubber consumed for this event


Most of my videos are too large so I hosted them here:

David, which day did you attend? I attended the half day as well, on Saturday. It was a blast. However, I wish there was more coaching on the auto cross section. The first round there was some coaching, but after that there wasn't much feedback. I felt they were short staffed on that section.

It's always nice to see some members attend these events. I was able to attend the Sunday session, though wasn't able to take part in the half day for either Friday or Saturday due to work.

It would've been nice to meet some new owners, but I'm hoping there will be future opportunities not only to participate in these corporate events but also gather locally to build the F heritage.

It's always a blast to attend these events, but more so learn more about the cars and its capabilities. Granted, not wasting our own tires and brakes does help with that haha.

Pissed off they didn't come to Atlanta the way they did when the IS F was new. Only four venues? Lame.

I was there Saturday afternoon. I saw a Black GS F in the parking area when I arrived. Was that yours? Agreed on the coaching. I also wish I was in the group that did the autocross at the end of the program. It was my first segment. Way too much fun anyway to thrash the GS F around like that.
