This will be doubly nice, as Lexus is progressively putting its imprint on auto sports and Gushi-san will get his redemption. I like the man's confidence!

I believe the Pikes Peak Hill Climb Event organizers are setting up an internet "Live Stream" for the Event(s)..

So we will be making sure ALL of our racing Lexus Enthusiats can see this IS-F in action..

Of course you can always just attend the Event and SEE IT LIVE... !!!!

I've done the Pikes Peak Ascent foot race and the air on top is definitely thin, but sitting in a car you don't notice it.
