Ian Palmer - Aussie NSX Track Racer - Doing us Proud

[NeoNSX]

Thanks to <B>Dippy9</B> who saw Ian Palmer's NSX in a QLD Race today on TV, here's some photos! But does anybody know serious facts about his NSX or track record???


Abstract from <A HREF="http://www.v8central.com/pitlane/racenews.asp?newsitem=453">here</A>:
<I>One of the surprise performances of the opening round, Ian Palmer’s NSX has found a new turn of speed and reliability for the 2005 season thanks to (a third) change of engine, the aggressive looking car now sporting a turbocharged Honda engine under its sprawling flanks.

Palmer warned that despite the strong run at the Victorian Circuit, there would be more to come from the NSX when it gets going at the 3.12km Queensland circuit.

“The car has another two seconds up it’s sleeve, so with the (new) LSD, some bigger brakes and the engine running reliably we should be around the pace of the (GT3) Cup Car, which is where it should really be,” he said.

“We have upgraded to a Limited Slip Differential (since Phillip Island), which we think will make the car a lot better into the corners – especially at Queensland – which is where we have been struggling in recent times.”</I>

Ian Palmer has been racing the NSX for many years now.

It has been through much development and I think that anyone who has done anything to an NSX he has tried it!

The car went from NA initially in the 90's to FI with the Comptech supercharger. The car even had a Judd/Brabham 3.5L ex Formula one V8 in it 2 years ago!

The most reliable power it has ever developed is in its current guise as the original 3.0L NSX motor intercooled twin turbo set-up with 800+hp.

Ian is an NSX enthusiast and has kept racing the NSX throughout the years even when it was uncompetetive against the pure race cars like the Ferrari 360 F1 stradalle, Lamborghini GTR and even that 7.0L Monaro.

There are another 5 races left for the year so lets get behind Ian and go along and support him at the remaining events!

Dippy wants to know how much for this kit?

I'm behind any racer driving an NSX. Too bad he doesn't lurk on NSX prime so we can congratulate him personally (and ask if he has any 2nd-hand parts for sale! )
