It is a very important test.So team Le Mans needs experienced driver.Kamui Kobayashi's team mate Ryo Hirakawa isn't bad driver. He won two races in Super GT(Japanese top GT category race) in 2015.But he never gotton a podium finish in Super Formula.I think this team wants a target of comparison.I'm happy if Loic come again SF in 2016.Super formula will determine the race schedule after WEC schedule announced.Super Formula races held to avoid WEC race weekend.So Super Formula is the attractive for racing drivers who want to participate in both series WEC and Super Formula.

From what I heard, Loic Duval already talked with Toyota and Team LeMans for his 2015 season at Super Formula but failed to meet agreement.
Well, because everyone are still new with Super Formula's Yokohama tyres, I think by attending the test he will be able to catch up with other top SF drivers.
