Well from the 5th gear vid they show that the LFA can bite you in the ass very easily. Its break-away characteristics are snappy, not progressive. This is bad for 99% of drivers. More and more this car is looking like a one-trick pony. Excels at the track. Mediocre everywhere else.

Two things. Tsukuba is way too small for these super car, if they gonna do test laps, then do it @ Fuji, That has high speed, more G's, more braking & more everything then Tsukuba.
Also, 5th gear vid Tiff did say that LFA tran can change only 10th of sec, but he didn't say it was bad thing. He stated that he like that idea.
Also to add to Tiff's statement, here's another car journalist comment bout LFA.

btw, Thomas Bangma is leading Dutch car journalist and Nur racer w trainer, so I think he knows what he's talking bout... well somewhat anyways.
