Again going back to my Lexus conspiracy theory about the need to tie in to F1. There is the the name. And the fact that Toyota really pulled VERY hard to get Fuji Speedway on the F1 circuit (GP of Japan alternating annually between Suzuka and Fuji), when it was more commonly known as a 'mere' sportscar track and Suzuka was the mighty F1 track. Suzuka is the most well known Japanese track outside of Japan, but that's Honda property.
Whatever the case, I would rather see tests done on any of those 3 tracks rather than the 'Ring, due to the driver's familiarity with the 'Ring having a more profound effect on lap-times than the car (assuming a reasonable degree of car performance closeness).
Personally I would pick Tsukuba out of convenience just because it's closer to Tokyo. It also seems to be Japan's 'Ring in terms of testing and comparing numbers, Super Lap Battle etc... And I doubt the LFA would have a 20 second lead over the SLS through 7-8 laps of Tsukuba (which would be close to the same overall times as the 'Ring I think).

Forgot that LFA stands for Lexus F-Series Apex.
me on my part.
But, even w that advantage, you telling me SLS can't take LFA on? Now that would be lesser all around super car.
As for SLS's time, it's official time. It's driven by pro.
