well see here let's break it down first thing you see up here massive brakes these are new carbon ceramic you all wrapped around BBS wheels special Michelin tires developed especially for this car carbon fiber roof you get to the back you look at this great rear wing it's not just for looks I mean it looks nice it looks great but this isn't just for looks it's for function more downforce more stability you're talking 176 pounds lighter total at least as close you can get to buying an ICF gt3 there's a lot of the stuff we do with the gt3 a lot of development and that's directly transferred on for this car massive weight savings splitter on the bottom side skirts and all kinds of fancy aerodynamic pieces on the car which is going to improve the handling improve the brake instability and improve the amount downforce you've got well they'll be less than a hundred of these May so if you want one you better hurry up and go get to work team Sally and team cheddar about to take on the corkscrew with back-to-back turns and a 5-story drop and they're doing it in the Lexus RCF track edition I expect Omar oh really - here we go hey I'm good Hey do you think you'll have a faster time

we'll just bring it back one notch you first wrong who's better new second and on the way back you'll almost feel you were too fast at the end here knowing you too slow around that last bar we got out yep so then get it okay but I mean you want it when you're under break yeah push your foot through the floor it's wanted to let you know how great of a leader I am motivated on my only change to credit their responsiveness okay it's you know I think a lot of people associate race car driving with a lot of herky-jerky and yanking on the wheel right and know this is a smooth experience so not too many car makers genuinely mesh luxury and sport and they've done that with this it looks real sleek right the way it handles you know the interior right you know how to design the interior and real comfortable right I mean Lexus might get my money anyways nice things pretty sexy that I fit Joe Lexus that a six six 300-pound man drive a sexy car team Sally and team Jetta are gonna put their skill to the test in the smaller challenge next on zero to 60 this is zero to 60 at the Laguna Seca Raceway we're heading into the next challenge the slalom each driver will have a standing start slopping through the cones and sprint to the finish with they'll need to stop inside the box hitting a cone is a 1 second penalty missing the box is also a 1 second penalty one false move could make the difference the standings are tight heading into the second challenge team cheddar has a slight edge of the team Sally and Kurtis Hamilton is currently the individual leader ahead by only a few fractions of a second now it's time to slop all right that's what I'm talking about you have the light and until you didn't stop in the clock yeah man I knew I had at the hotel yes we are physically tie and team our new it is who the leader is Carmelita Jetta Oh leader but next time we'll find out which team will be crowned king grudge match stop on zero-to-sixty I am big chicken I'm here Laguna Seca Raceway it all comes down to this final challenge the team relay 30 points on the line but we got a time so whoever wins this relay wins the team crown we'll also add your individual relay times to your first to challenge times to determine who is taking home this Lexus for a year here the rules each driver looks successfully navigate the course and then stop in the box in the box you go outside the box they might back you up until you're in the box stop short of the box they'll eat you up - you're in the box got to be in the box there are penalties two seconds for each code that you hit on this book I think we're gonna see some cones fly we're riding into GSF please God tell me a little bit about this amazing today 400 plus horsepower when they get out there on this little track it's the agility is it's absolutely fantastic right at the end of your fingertips but it's all about the finesse of it it's all about the balance of getting through these turns and not taking out the cones two seconds you can never make that Cup all right team Sally up first Omar you're in the first car it's going down team relay somebody's going with Alexis before the teams take on the relay challenge they'll receive final instruction from their coaches and take a practice lap these white cones of your apex is doing it close to them let the car go out a little bit here then get close again to that white wall accelerate around that here you just gonna be touching the brake I'm at all of it you're gonna be like modulated into kind of all out of it just like yes it is follow to try and keep it close to the white walls to the white walls in a way that bring the car out so you got a nice little run down until so what I'm doing is I'm just kind of rolling the roll on the throttle so I used didn't use any brake there you got to use brake at the other end you stand on through the middle but you don't have to let off a little bit final showdown the teams get to experience a few hot laps with their coaches so I really really believe in my coach that man is special conduit he was on this the drivers are lit and ready to go the relay is up next who a witness relaxes for a year
