Lexus Brings Facebook Competition Winners to Silverstone to Drive the LFA [Photos + Video]



While Ferrari is doing its best to alienate not only the brand's fans, but even its customers as well, another automaker, Lexus, did something that is extremely rare when it comes to limited-run specialty models like the LFA supercar.

And what may that be, we hear you ask? The Japanese company's British division organized a competition on its official Facebook page giving three people the opportunity to drive around the famous Silverstone track in the LFA.

The lucky winners were Jon Eliel, a freelance events director, Oliver Storry, a commercial pilot, and Tim Andrew, a professional photographer. The LFA driving event took place at Silverstone on November 2.

Watch the film from the track-packed day in the video after the break, while if you scroll further down, you'll find a comprehensive gallery that includes some pretty cool pictures.
