Actually Fuji would be the first track - and not the only one, Buriram would be my other choice - where I would expect 2017 GT500 to be faster than 2017 LMP2. Don't forget GT500 run at/very close to 650hp with no plans to kerb that so far, and the target 25% downforce reduction will also come with a smaller but significant drop in drag.
And I would be confident that this year's GT500 (well, maybe not the NSX-GT...) would lap Suzuka faster than this year's LMP2.
