as tested by Best Motoring:

Tsukuba (2km):
Sleggera ~ 1:01.599
GTR ~ 1:01.94

Were these times/tests back top back on track at the same time? If not, then such close times on such a short circuit are meaningless if taken at different times.

Explain the video displays of the GT-R pushing 911T's into the dirt then?

On the same day. Sleggera pulled it's best time at Tsukuba while chasing GTR during 5 laps race. Both GTR & Sleggera were consistently pulling times near 1:02 during timeattack and race. Rest of the field ~ 911GT3, NSX-R, 911T were lapping near 1:05.
