Hi guys, some more informations.
Definately this car is one of Honda's last years 24h Nürburgring race cars.
The NSX-R (NA2), descibed from NSX Racer, was one of this cars (sport auto race car). This NSX-R will start again at this years 24 h race beginning of may, it will be the 3th try to finish the race.
Honda changed the complete team and also the drivers.
I'm sure the combination in this year is better, because the drivers
are professionals.
The NSX at the picture is an original JGTC GT500 car,
exactly the Mobil 1 NSX car from 2002, which won the GT championchip in that year.
Beginning in year 2004, this car was prepared from TODA Racing with another
engine from the GT 300 NSX, tested from the german R&D team at MIne/Japan, than shipped to germany.
There was only 3 months left for the race preparation and tests....result:
In the race, the Hewland gearbox broke after 600 miles (1000 km).....thats the longest distance the JGTC cars has to run before the race is finished.
Some significant points to recognize are the special BBS wheels, which was never produced for another JGTC NSX and the exhaust, which must be manufactured before the race because the car was too loud.
legal 98 db/4.000 rpm........the NSX had 110 db!
This car is still in germany.....noone knows if he will ever race.
Definately not this year, but maybe next year.
I heard that the car is in preparation for some more track tests with journalists this year.....think I must start to get a journalist :wink:
