ex RealTime Type R at ITRCA Expo

[hondacbx]

I purchased this caR a year ago & been doing some SCCA club racing with it. Last month gave it a paint job just in time for ITRCA EXPO at Mid Ohio . Realtime sold it at the end of the 01 world challenge season. Primary drivers of this caR was Michael Galati & Hugh Plumb. It is one of four preproduction type Rs of the seven total Realtime had. J. Hebert from Trois-Riviers raced this caR in Canada from 02 to 09 . This caR still has all the Realtime race parts including the large rear sway bar that goes through the trunk. Good Luck at EXPO this week everyone, cant make it, last year was a blast.

Bernie, absolutely amazing job on bringing that car back to it's original look/theme. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for it!

Awesome car with the model having a huge impact on WC and it's popularity.

I wish more people kept these cars in this kind of condition. Well done, sir.

Pirelli World Challenge Series is my favorite!
Just met P D Cunningham at Mid-O August 3-4, 2012, and spent ~ 2 hrs in the RealTime crew paddock. Michael Galati was in a Kia Optima for the twin races Sat/Sun if I recall.
THX for your post and the pics of your ITR, esp. at Mid-Ohio where it looks like it BELONGS.

Hey Bernie:

The R was looking immaculate with the new paint job!

Your son seemed to have had fun with the RSX.

Beautiful job! The Integra Type R is still the most successful model in the Touring Car division of World Challenge! Have fun with it!

I used to worship RTR R's and Cunninghams NSX. The other day I found a hot wheels Integra I hand painted to the RTR paint scheme. I'll take a photo and post it.

You can buy these cars from them?! What happened to the other ITR's? What about the NSX??

I talked to Nathan Bonneau ( Gen. Manager at Realtime ) in Jan. to get some info on my car. This is what I found out. Realtime had a total of 7 ITRs
1 ITR & the NSX are in the Honda museum in California
1 went to Canada, this car
1 went to the Dominican Republic
2 went to Panama
1 totaled in Canada 8/00 by Hugh Plumb
1 Realtime still has one, not a race car anymore?
many pictures in the Honda museum if you do a search, Realtime only had 1 NSX.

Hehe, as promised, here is the hand painted hotwheels I did quite a few year ago. I even took the RTR one apart and ripped out the passenger seat. =)

The car looks awesome and great to see you at the front of the pack there! Beautiful job! Hopefully we'll be able to make ITR EXPO next year as well!
