Creative concept description:
The unique event format is designed as a competition that reveals both new or hidden advantages of cars, and the emotional characteristics of the guests themselves.
The project gives customers a gamut of new sensations — positive vibes from the competition, excitement, striving for superiority and leadership — and thus highlights the distinctive features of successful people — Lexus car owners.
The sports component of the brand is revealed through a competition between guests not only on the tracks, but also in other activities. Competitive elements help to show different sides and directions of brand development, give a customer new knowledge and advantages as a prize for winning competitions. Competition, excitement, sports drive make up the spirit of the event and show customers that they can experience these bright, sporty and near-sports emotions every day with Lexus cars.

RBK
...the large-scale event filled with energy and the spirit of sports became a model of a new event standard for the brand. The special attention to detail and the Japanese Omotenashi hospitality philosophy are those aspects of the brand that guests were able to discover in special learn about Lexus areas. Also, the guests were offered a couple of interesting tests and feel like real masters of Takumi, having experienced the highest quality standards of production of Lexus cars...

The guests were also able to fully understand the philosophy of Japanese hospitality omotenashi. In particular, the participants had to pass several interesting tests, giving them the opportunity to feel like takumi masters.
Literally, this word is translated as "craftsman", but in Japan takumi is used for those who have achieved total success in their business over many years of hard work. There are about ten such craftsmen working at the Lexus plant in Japan, each of them is responsible for a certain stage of car production. During the tests, participants were asked to determine a malfunction in one of the five engines by its sound, to find defects in the assembly or body paint by touch, to decompose almost identical color squares in descending order of color intensiveness, and so on — all the senses were used, and such a test drive will be remembered for a long time.
