Lexus has just launched their “Unleash the LFA” contest on facebook and while its limited to the likes of those residing in the United States of America, it’s still something to shout about.
For those who are eligible and subsequently selected, they get the wonderful opportunity to get flown to Skip Barber Racing School of Salinas, California where Scott Pruett (ex-IndyCar and NASCAR driver and reigning Grand-Am Champion) will be on hand to help provide some personal training behind the wheel of a Lexus LFA!
Just incase you’ve forgotten how the LFA’s engine screams off into the distance, have a look at what Lexus has created for your audio-visual excitement as it literally bobs and weaves past the competition.
