A few days back, Lexus had teased us with a video entitled “Unleash the LFA,” a preview to which some (including myself) believed to be a new special edition track spec LFA after some recent aqua colored LFA spy photos had emerged the weeks before.

Sadly, we were all wrong. What Lexus is really doing is, well taking a note from Audi’s #WantAnR8 Twitter campaign.

Lexus is letting one of their lucky fans take hold of the 552bhp V10 supercar for a day of high-speed driving instruction at Skip Barber Racing school, finished off with a speed run at the infamous Laguna Seca racetrack.

Mind you, Lexus isn’t skimping out either. Included is the cost of lodging and airfare for you and a friend, and a $300 spending spree.

The contest runs on Lexus’ official Facebook page from August 1 to 21 and is only open to U.S. residents.
