To give you a sense of how crazy fast folks drive on this track, Here is an M5 ring taxi with 5 passengers on board flying on the ring.

Thanks for replying and giving us info with regards to your wonderful machine..What a list of mods you got there I used to browse lexusownersclub.com(u.s) back in 01, but never joined because it was not free back then (I'm cheap) The ring is not for the faint of heart, and you are a brave soul to drive an Aristo on it in such conditions.. I can't wait to see pics and more vids of your ride and perhaps more of your fellow uk members rides.. Welcome

that's some nice driving. Glad to see someone push their GS and enjoy it
There are a lot of memebrs here who claim no matter what up grades they do to the GS/Aristo suspention, the car still handles like crap I can see that's not your sitation
Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Thanx....Still not 100% happy with handling. I have a full set of TRD bushes to fit which will help. I also need to talk to TEIN about changing the preload settings on the coilovers
