NSX 2.0 - Back from the Dead

[Ponyboy]

Starting this Super GT season at the back of the pack if they even finished, the NSX 2.0 seemed like it was powered by sails and wrapped in anchors. Well, during the testing session before the third race things have certainly changed.

Some chassis tuning at Suzuka testing proved successful as one of the teams was tops during the morning session. But later in the afternoon…

SUZUKA TRACK RECORD: 1:49842!

Granted, the winning cars receive a weight penalty but still, the track record is quite a feat. :thumbup:

apparently Honda has asked the governing body to allow some updates to the NSX to make it more competitive.

From Rolled at Temple -

NSX-GT min. weight is now 1077kg(was 1090kg)

homologated body part changes allowed

1) front grill(addition of an opening)
2)rear bumper(addition of an opening)
3)rear window(addition of an opening)
4)engine air inlet duct(layout change)
5)cooling duct for exhaust pipe and turbo(grow in size)
6)rear window can be CF(doesn't have to be clear lexan)

Those upgrades was tested at Suzuka(maybe why they was fastest in test)
