Indeed nice racing! 👍

In the early stages of the race I had a nice battle with Jon for 2nd position, but in trying to follow Jukka's amazingly quick and steady pace I burned up my tires so I couldn't work my 1 stop strategy (first fail) and then I spun in the 16th lap (second fail), but anyways I had lots of fun. Let's do it again soon. I look forward to the team event series!

:cheers:
Bart
 
Yeah nice race indeed. And thanks for the battle Bart. Im trying to get wise and think tire strategy so in the race I eased up thinking you where on a 2 pit strategy and Jukka flying away as we where battling out. In the end Its clear that I still need some lessons as my 1 stop really didnt pay off.

Its really nice to have you on board Bart. See you at the track mate.

Hi Fastas. Yes no prob. Its open - you just need to be friend with the race host as we´re running private lobby.

The Castrol Mugen NSX will not be allowed in tonights race.


Rikard - Apparently Ive been having the same problem as you. Jukka told me several times about my strange break lights and yesterday it become clear that breaks where slowing me down. Today ive changed my clutch pedal with the break pedal. It seams to have solved the issue. I havent realized this earlier as I thought the car maybe needed an oil change or something.

Bart - we usually have a saturday race every second weekend. Next event will be held 30.04. However there is something going on for this weekend aswell - a test run for next saturday.

THE STORY



Upon its release in 1990, the NSX design concept measured 1,170 mm in height, only 141.3 mm taller than the legendary Ford GT40, and showcased Honda's technology. The Japanese car maker's race track innovations and competitive history were further exemplified on the road by the car's strong chassis rigidity and cornering/handling capabilities were the results of Ayrton Senna's direct input with NSX's chief engineers while testing the NSX prototype car at Honda's Suzuka Circuit during its final development stages The car additionally boasted the world's first production car engine with titanium connecting rods, forged pistons, and ultra high-revving capabilities.

After studying their main competitors such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche, Honda engineers designed the NSX in search of the "perfect balance" between usable power and reliability and thus produced a powerful naturally aspirated VTEC engine suitable for the extreme demands of both road and track.

One of the first magazine articles to offer NSX test data showed the lightweight 3.0L 270 bhp (200 kW) NSX producing a best 0-60 mp/h time of 5.03 seconds and 13.47 seconds for the quarter mile. Also on a Ferrari 348 to NSX comparison, a 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds was recorded for the 1991 NSX.

Today the NSX is still considered by owners of the marque as one of the most reliable exotic cars ever manufactured, with many examples exceeding 100,000 miles (160,000 km) without serious notable reliability issues or having suffered manufacturer recalls.

The original NSX ceasing production in 2005 but tonight we're reliving the NSX history through out its series of cars and changes.
Id like to point out one aim for tonight 7.56 at NS in the last race. Please read the story.

NSX-S, S-Zero
Along with the engine displacement increase in 1997, Japan exclusively received the NSX type S and NSX type S Zero, weighing in at 1,320 kg and 1,280 kg respectively. Both had a stiffer suspension than the normal NSX.

Unlike the standard Type S, the S-Zero does not offer Air Conditioning, navigation, and stereo system as an option. The suspension is stiffer than the standard Type S but retaining the Type S's larger rear sway bar. Changes were also made to the interior's manual transmission boot shifter, replacing the original material from leather to mesh.

Track: Fuji
Car: NSX Type S '01 - 281 bhp 1320 kg

NSX R
For those NSX customers seeking a no-compromise racing experience, Honda decided in 1992 to produce a version of the NSX specifically modified for superior on-track performance at the expense of customary creature comforts. Thus, the NSX Type R was born.

Honda engineers started with a base NSX coupe and embarked on an aggressive program of weight reduction. Sound deadening, the audio system and the entire air conditioning system were removed. The power leather seats were replaced with lightweight carbon fiber racing seats manufactured for Honda by Recaro. The stock alloy wheels were replaced with forged aluminium wheels produced by Enkei, which reduced the car's unsprung weight. The stock leather shift knob was replaced with a sculpted titanium piece. Overall, Honda managed to remove 120 kg of weight, giving the NSX-R a final weight of 1,230 kg.

Turning to the suspension, it was well known by 1992 that the NSX, due to its mid-engine layout and rear-end link travel, was susceptible to a sudden oversteer condition during certain cornering maneuvers. To address the problem and improve the NSX-R's cornering stability at the limit, Honda replaced the entire suspension with completely new springs and dampers.

The stock NSX has a rear bias in its spring rates, where the rear springs are stiffer than the front. On hard deceleration upon corner entry, the softer front springs allow weight transfer to the front wheels, increasing front grip and thus improving steering response. However, the weight transfer also takes weight off of the rear wheels, causing them to lose grip. The net result is a tendency toward oversteer, as the rear wheels are more likely to break traction and cause a fishtail (drift) or spin. For the NSX-R, Honda reversed the spring bias, placing stiffer springs on the front suspension. This had the effect of preventing weight transfer to the front suspension under hard braking. Of course, by keeping weight off of the front wheels, front grip was reduced and the change therefore had the negative effect of increasing the understeer tendency of the car. This change required better driver skill to manage.


Race No 9:
Track: Nurburgring GP/F
Car: NSX Type R '92 - 281 bhp 1230 kg

Second generation NSX-R
The result of Honda's second NSX-R effort was a vehicle that could challenge the latest sports car models on the track, despite having a base design that was more than 15 years old. For example a 2003 NSX-R around the legendary Nurburgring road course in 7:56, a time equal to a Ferrari F360 Challenge Stradale. The NSX-R accomplished this feat despite being out-powered by the Ferrari by nearly 100 bhp (75 kW)

Car: NSX Type R '02 - 281 bhp 1230 kg

Family permitting I hope to come along and support your event again, more often than not i'm last :grumpy: but I still enjoy your races. 👍

Phillip.
 
In for Capuccino at Cape Ring, look out for yellow #51 :D 👍

All the best
Maz
 
Anyone still looking for a teammate? Only drawback is that I can't make the qualifying tonight.... but I'd love to participate Saturday.
 
Matching teammate will be done through qualifying PASM (1 "fast" + 1 "slow" = team) :sly:

Hope it will be room for you 👍
