The Lexus LFA Driver Development Center was designed as a place
for Lexus LFA owners to become more confident and comfortable
driving this ultra performance machine. In order to achieve these goals,
we offer a curriculum unlike any other driving school with a perfect
mix of on track lapping sessions, performance limit exercises, technical
demonstrations, and the use of professional driving instructors. With
a full day of progressive in-car instruction, our program has been
designed to enhance your overall Lexus LFA ownership experience.
Upon arrival at Infineon Raceway, you will meet your driving instructor
while your breakfast is being prepared. This is a great time to get to
know each other and discuss your previous driving experience and
personal goals for the day. Small class sizes give us the freedom to
adjust the curriculum, depending on your background, so you can get
the most out of the day’s activities.

After breakfast, we move to our private conference room where we
will cover the technical aspects of the vehicle and discuss racing theory.
Theories include load transfer, threshold braking, racing line, and the
limits of adhesion. Listen carefully because knowledge gained here will
be put into practice throughout your day.
Leaving the instructional suite, it’s time to get behind the wheel of
the Lexus LFA. We start by fitting you in the car with correct seating
position followed by acceleration and braking exercises on the drag
strip. We encourage you to reach the vehicle’s 0-60 time of 3.6
seconds and continue accelerating beyond the ¼ mile mark until
your instructor asks you to apply maximum brake pressure. We will
repeat this exercise, giving you the opportunity to understand the
vehicle’s acceleration and braking capabilities.

Using a Lexus IS-F, we will explore load transfer and limit adhesion
during the slalom, cornering, and skid pad exercises. This will give
you the chance to feel the vehicle move laterally under your control,
experience its mechanical grip limit, and learn how to efficiently travel
through a corner at speed. Learning how the vehicle reacts to your
input and its handling limit will prepare you for your lapping sessions on
Infineon Raceway.

Track time is a key feature of the The Lexus Driver Development
Center. Mastering this 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course demands
concentration, consistency, and mental focus. Guiding you around
the racetrack, our coaches have years of experience and countless
laps on Infineon Raceway resulting in an intimate knowledge of every
corner. During every lap this information will be passed on to you as
your speed and confidence progressively increases.

Your day wraps with a Lexus LFA thrill ride around Infineon Raceway
piloted by your instructor. He will demonstrate what the Lexus LFA can
do in the hands of a professional racing driver. For most this is a thrilling
and humbling experience, but for some it will inspire future track days
in their very own Lexus LFA.
