The only 2017 I saw that had a problem was towed back in.........it was a typical Honda fault.......out of fuel!
Its amazing that these cars of all years are driven around hard all 2 days and the only problems were brake pads, 1 brake line, 1 after market clutch and a few O2 sensors. Honda reliability.
Today's track vids. Amazing how fast the new NSX accelerated away from the S2000 in the third video
I'm pretty sure with more laps, a stockish NSX would be down in the 2:4Xs pretty easily. 2:50 is a decent goal, though. I believe my "Theoretical Best" was a 2:49.something and that is completely plausible in my mind. As you mentioned, I was definitely over slowing and slowing early/coasting as my brakes were not working great.
I want to run it with the kink in play.
(Also, it's questionable whether my car falls into 'stockish' territory, to be fair.)
I was there in July driving an 06 Cayman S which should be similar to an NSX, 2:43 with the kink - 2nd time there. Stock car and street tires. I was told that the bend adds around 7-8 seconds. If you go again, The Northwoods Shelby group runs an excellent event and the July event would typically have good weather. Advanced drivers essentially pass anywhere there is a straight with a point.
