One Nordschleife lap on Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package. No racing, just fun. But not so slow, by the way - about 7:40 & 7:50 for the 20,600 meters standart Sport Auto magazine's lap configuration
Both drivers are not on their own limits!

Hiroaki drives as a star race-taxi driver for journalists during the Lexus event. He do not his best because the passenger.

I'm running just second lap behind the wheel of this car. It's just one of two 2 test laps to make a good article: I'm not allowed to take any risks. To feel comfortable enough to get 98% of my speed, I need at least 5-6 laps. So in some of the most difficult & not clean, at that moment, for me sectors, I'm not pushing. In the 2 carussels i'm not pushing hard to respect the transmission of a half million dollar unique supercar.

Many thanks to Lexus for the event & for the brilliant supercar. Many thanks to Lena Gorlova. The car, the event, the people, even the weather: all things was incredibly good. Thanks a lot!
