Default "Circuit" Race mode icon on dashboard?

Every so often I'm surprised at these little hidden nuggets of info that show up about this car.. has anyone heard of this feature in the video link that looks like the map of tace tracking the upper left of the gauge cluster? It also puts a little race course icon in the upper left of the Fuel gauges that says "Circuit" and shows a map of the track? Really curious to see how/when to enable that.
See it here:

That is interesting as I have owned my RCF for 7+ years and followed the RCF since 2014 and never seen or heard about that circuit mode. They get a, lot of specific stuff in Japan so specifics to JDM RCFs? Looks like it is an LSD RCF so definitely not tied to the TVD. Maybe, someone else might be able to shed some light on this mode.

Saw that note in the comments about actually being on a track... Just wanted to know if anyone has ever even attempted to find the setting while at any well known or circuit track in the US or anywhere else to even see if it works. This is a very cool mode if it actually exists. And I did always wonder why that spot on the gauge cluster is never lit up with nothing there.
