suspension testing is what your seeing there. they will run about close to 10+k miles on the ring in less than a month. in the process they will see and compare data recorded on fuji. one of the things you might see during testing in future photos will be different wheel and tire set ups. the car i was told if driven incorrectly has a tendency to snap oversteer, the suspension will be tuned to over but not to the point where the average driver won't be able to control it. they will test whether calibration or the need for a wider set up for the rear will help. that's where the rings multiple turns come in, the track is great for data gathering.

Didnt the MR2 SW20 have issues of Snap oversteer also? In its Gen I form anyways, then they increased the width of the Rear Tyres and suspension tune to "fix" it.
I am definitely going for a Staggered Wheel setup for this new Toyota Coupe, why can't they release it with a staggered setup from the factory? Cost wise it cant be that bad, since just order Half 18 x 7s and Half 18 x 8s.
