i attended the LA one.

it was not as good as the Lexus one. but still is fun to drive cars that you will not be able to purchase until you're old.

its somewhat controlled on a tarmac course.

if you do donuts, or spin out purposely or deliberately crash, then you will be booted.

other than that, yes you get to drive them into the ground. my mission to do so has failed in the past 2 events like this...

It was a blast!!! if i can figure out how to compress some of the video i took, i'll see if i can post it somewhere. The SL500 convertible was the best one... I really burned some tires and i'm surprised they didnt kick me out. Let me put it this way, when i got out the car, you could smell the tires!!! oh yeah... the Lexus tour is next month for those that want to join me!!! :wink:

When is the Lexus tour? I heard they had the IS430 there in CA..you read right IS430!...they put the engine from a GS430 and the tranny from a Supra in an IS...now that would be SMOKIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the show on Discovery HD where they did it. Supposedly Lexus is coming out with a whole performance line to compete with M & AMG.

Lexus will have the Taste of Luxury tour again next year. Also, they may do the vehicle launch events for the RX400H and the GS300/430. Watch out for those =] Those are the awesome ones! I get paid to go

Ah man...that would have been sweet. I can't remember the name of the guy that did it for Lexus...

Did they have the 2006 GS prototypes?
