Lexus' Traveling Driving School Full of Free, Pure Thrills
Lexus doesn't build its F cars to sit in the garage. So get out and hone your skills at Lexus Performance Driving School!
1. Get out and Play (Learn)
Performance vehicles like the Lexus F lineup are designed to, well, perform. And yet, most folks who own them rarely even use one tenth of their car's ability. For good reason, obviously. After all, it isn't exactly safe to explore the limits of your Lexus on public roads. But that's why Lexus is going the extra mile and offering up a traveling performance driving school. Better yet, one of the courses they offer is even free!

2. Performance Tour Experience
It's rare that you get anything for free anymore, especially track time with professional instructors at your side. But that's exactly what Lexus' Performance Tour Experience offers. Signing up gets you classroom time right off the bat, where instructors school you on the fine details of driving dynamics and safety. You'll then test out your newfound education while autocrossing and taking turns down the drag strip.

3. Performance Track Experience
For those who are more serious about honing their driving skills, Lexus offers the Performance Track Experience. You can do either a half day (5 hours) or full day (9 hours) at the cost of $495 and $895, respectively. Both include classroom instruction, slalom, braking, and steering technique instruction, timed autocross, skidpad, hot laps, and lead/follow time to learn the finer points of driving. Opting for the longer session also gets you training in advanced driving techniques, drifting instruction, and some time learning on-track racing line technique.

4. The Cars
No matter which class you opt for, you'll obviously get to drive some pretty incredible Lexus machinery. That includes both the LC 500 and the LC 500h, GS F, RC F, IS 350 F Sport, and RC 350 F Sport. It's an unparalleled opportunity to drive pretty much every performance car in the Lexus stable, all in one place. If you're in the market for one of these rides, there simply isn't a better way to pick one out than hooning them on a track, back to back.
