Laguna Seca Raceway in
Salinas, California on
Wednesday 13 August 2008, as part of the events surrounding the <A HREF="http://www.montereyhistoric.com/">Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races</A> and the <A HREF="http://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/">Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance</A> festivities.
The Lexus Performance Experience is a one-hour program that begins with professional race car drivers taking you around Laguna Seca in a Lexus IS F for turn-by-turn instruction (including the legendary Corkscrew). Then, it's your turn to drive Lexus' fastest car around the track yourself. A light breakfast or light lunch will be provided.
Six separate sessions are available, starting at
8 am, 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, 12 noon and
1 pm. You must be over age 21 to participate. To register, call
888-747-4504. Please note that space is limited and registration is in advance only and first-come, first served. If asked where you heard about this, tell them here at LexusF.com, a Lexus fan website.
