There is Car Driving Test Ground located outside the building, which takes power from the substation inside the building. This ground is closely resemblance of a space like car racing (i.e. Formula 1) tracks. At the starting and finishing end there have to be high level of illuminance to check the readings of the equipment fitted in the car. We are on LEED v3 with 90.1-2007.
Would this space category be considered as "Entrances and gatehouse inspection stations at guarded facilities" and LPD be like 1.2 Watts/SQFT? Or Section 9.4.4 applies to this ground? Or the Exception of the code Section 9.4.5 covers this special need category?
Are there any amendments in 90.1-2007 covers this section?

I think that this lighting is not really addressed by the Standard so it should be modeled identically as a process load.
