When I first drew up our year plan for Speedhunters 2010, April was originally slated to be themed Honda month . We've decided to ice this theme for a while though, as we're just too busy getting geared up for the upcoming race season. At any rate, we seem to be having a mini-Honda celebration on Speedhunters with the release of last week's
Here's another quick update from the Super GT series in Japan. This time SGT was back at Fuji Speedway over the weekend for the seventh round of the 2009 season. A view of the GT500 grid during the opening moments of the race. The Epson NSX would be starting from the pole. Colorful shot of the GT300 grid here. It looks a beautiful September day
Despite being one of the world's largest carmakers, Honda's sports car program is known for churning out unique machines infused with the company's racing DNA. At the begenning of the '90s when its Japanese rivals were building heavy gadget-laden sports cars, Honda broke the mold with the F1-inspired mid engine NSX. Whether stock or
I for one can't wait for the 2009 SuperGT season start. Most of the teams have improved on their cars after the 2008 season ended. The ARTA team run by Keiichi ‘Driftking' Tsuchiya has made some changes in the looks department and made a new bodykit for the NSX that's even lower and wider than before. Found on Jon Sibal's blog
Just browsing through Jon Sibal's blog and I noticed this SuperGT NSX. It is the ‘new' NSX for Team Yoshiki & Dome Project that will be campaigned in the 2009 season of the Japanese SuperGT. I really hope I can witness one of these races in my lifetime. Just gotta start saving for my trip to Japan. -Jeroen Willemsen Dome
Rolling on with my Tokyo Auto Salon coverage, it's time to look at this year's Honda showing. You have probably already seen photos of the cars displayed by Mugen and by Honda itself, but there plenty of other cool H-badged vehicles at TAS '09. I thought I'd start with the Tamon Design "Zaku" S2000 which was part of the Ray's
Sadly, it seems like there's a never ending streak of bad news coming out of the auto industry these days. The latest is the word that Honda is scrapping the new NSX, a car which has been in development for some time now. I suppose it's not too surprising considering Honda is pulling out of Formula 1 and announcing cuts elsewhere. Building high
Just to balance out all the Nissan's you have been seeing, I present you this Honda NSX. I found this car for sale on the global Auto website thanks to a tip from the JDMego blog . When I was looking at the ad for the car I noticed it was already sold to a lucky owner. The car sports one of the most aggressive bodykits that I can think of. Route
I have been quite busy working on new Speedhunters stories and preparing for my trip to this weekend's Motorsport Japan Festival in Odaiba, but before I move on to that stuff, I wanted to take one last look at last Friday's I Heart Honda!! event at Tsukuba Circuit. Judging by the feedback I have been reading on these posts, it appears that you
Being in Japan has given me the opportunity to see a lot of record-breaking tuner cars like the HRS Cyber Evo and Top Fuel S2000, but there is always something great about seeing a non-Japanese company do amazing things with a Japanese car. This NSX was built by Love Fab Motorsports in Buckley, Michigan, a company with many years of experience in custom
