Say what you want about the Lexus LFA and whether or not it is worth the hefty $375k sticker price; if you’re a true-blue petrol head and you were given the opportunity to get behind the LFA’s wheel for a lap around a professional circuit, you’d do it in a heartbeat no matter what you thought about the car.

And that opportunity came for Carscoop reader Jean-Luc Cartwright from Britain who was able to drive the V10-powered Lexus LFA at the Silverstone racetrack in England.

Here’s what Jean Luc told us about his experience:

“I’m on a trip with work driving the ultra-rare Lexus LFA Supercar around the Silverstone race track here in the UK – but being scared silly by the speed! So plenty of funny facial expressions (which I didn’t even realise I had done until I got home and watched the video!) and a mouth that seems to get wider the faster I go!”

No worries Jean-Luc, we understand…
