I like the sound of that. Which one is it?
Driving the old Jaguar XJ113 now, 1st gear is positioned where 2nd normally is, 2nd through 5th gear in H pattern from there. also gives best view of the engine with heat haze when looking back from cockpit view (almost makes me want to race in reverse
)

This is called a dog-leg gearbox. Quite a few cars in the game would have this if we could see the interiors.
This feature keeps 1st out of the way which is only really used for pulling away in the pits or at the start.

Except that the Honda is from the 1970s and is based on a car from the mid-60s, so it still isn't particularly unusual.

The fan is there to suck it to the ground. If memory serves me, they stuck a snowmobile engine in the back to run the thing... it's essentially an X1 and is easily the highest performing car compared to others in it's pp range (because of how pp is determined, it hasn't received the generous PD treatment). Mine is dialed in and can run Spa in the same time (or less) as most LM and Group C cars.
Yes, they are. In stock trim they're accurate, with a new set of tires they're awarded a much larger grip increase compared to other vehicles. No, it's not due to the driving aids available in the GT-R, as Quattro-equipped Audi cars would get a similarly large advantage.
As for power, it appears the Kaz's Nürburgring GT-R also has ambitious physics. I just set both a Veyron and the GT-R to 600hp, 1505kg, and the same gearing (top speed would be the same in sixth gear, you can't match number because of different RPM, and you can't simply set the top speed because they each have a different number of gears) and ran them on a measured section of the TG Test Track. The Veyron had a 347 ft-lb torque advantage, seamless shifting, and no drag from downforce. It didn't win by more than half a second. The finish line was the thick white line before Hammerhead corner, at which point I slammed on the brakes for both cars. The GT-R stopped four tire barriers before the wall, the Veyron stopped just inches before.

Well when i was doing the 24 hour sarthe endurance race on a-spec in my colour x1 I noticed that there was one spot where I could park and the whole car light up as if it was electrocuted

I don't really know what happened but on the straight just before the second chicane my x1 just flashed for less that a second so I went back to that spot and parked there and the car had a white outline

Every car gets that, don't know what that is, looks like a flash from a photo camera when you quickly pass it.

Neither do the NASCARs
But the reason why the amuse and the hks don't is because they are both (what i assume are anyway) time attack cars, which don't need headlights to save weight.
And while I'm at it, neither the 2J or the Toyota 7 do

That's a feature called "Dogleg gears". It's a racing car feature that was in VERY few road cars. It was for racing in real life where on the track realistically you'd never use first gear aside from take off, so they put 2-5 in the H pattern.
I learned this from Top Gear on an episode where they bought old cars. May had a Mercedes with dog leg gears and he kept putting it in reverse thinking it would be first and hitting the Hammond behind him.

The M3 GTR Race Car has headlights but they don't work. Well... at least for me they don't. I've never asked anyone else if there's did or did not.
How are we forgetting Top Gear on this one...

The GT Concept by Citroen goes INSANELY fast when going in reverse.
