Yes I understand this, but it is a bit strange. They could do this kind of testing on a public road and under legal speeds, which I suppose they are doing already a lot. They have also private roads and a factory track that can do some testing on the limits. I don't understand what's the point to test a car on this particular track, where you need a very high speed car (and a good handling one, but not only good handling). Just think that they were testing a car in Germany, that never went out of Japan and never saw a speed of more than 180km/h because of the limiter. Unless, they were testing it for some other project and to collect data. Maybe for an endurance race event like 24h. Subaru never sent officially a BRZ in this event, but Toyota did. Maybe they were sharing resources, testing different settings or something else.
