Thanks for the Google link worked perfectly!

That's a seriously big track...how did you find it, just trawling around Japan till you saw it?

They need some more detailed Japan maps in there.

Something to be said for doing the road tests on an actual road. Since they can see if they'll get killed trying to get on the freeway in a tiny underpowered car.

Ha, in 1958 when Nissan sent some scouts to the USA, they ran their little Datsun up and down the interstates in Southern California for testing. You see at that time Nissan had no test track, apparently there was none in the entire country of Japan. Nor any public road suitable for high speed testing. So they had to test it in the field so to speak.

Look how it has changed ...
