Forged Performance: #003 Lexus LFA Featured at Road Atlanta

ChadB@Forged · 11-14-2011, 06:10 PM

In the words of Sharif:

As many of you know, one of our GT-R clients also owns the first retail delivered LFA in the world, affectionately labeled #003. The first two cars went to Toyota insiders. Roy has become a good friend over the years and unlike many supercar owners, he actually uses his cars on track and on the street. His LFA is not a garage queen by any means. Every now and then he gives me the the unique privilege of driving his LFA on track and on one such occasion at Road Atlanta we decided to bring Zak Kerbelis with us to do some filming. It's not often I am handed the keys to a $400K irreplaceable super car and told to kill it, and fortunately we had Zak on hand to film. By way of introduction, Zachary is only 18 years of old, but has produced some of the most amazing video coverage of Formula DRIFT and has quite a talent for film and video editing.

In addition to Roy, I wanted to give special appreciation to Mark and Maria of Chin Motorsports for graciously providing the track time, and another good friend and fellow GT-R owner Paul McElroy for providing the chase car footage.

Enjoy, and we'll see you all on the track again soon!

That's some great footage.

Chad I need to call you about getting some shots of me a Road Atlanta in a few weeks. If your going to be there for the two day Chin event. Sharif already invited me to paddock with Forged.
