looks like it understeers alot. looks like it brakes way better (brembos on type r's?), looks like it turns in better and is more stable at midturns (what tires do type r's come with?), the type r's faster in straight line too, o yea. the s2k driver wasn't taking the correct lines. tsuchiya is the better driver.

man, that s2k driver sucks. Braking too much, off-line, jerking the car too much (no wonder the tail was wagging).

still, makes me wish the CTR was available in the US, would've gotten that instead of the Civic Hybrid

Unfair race.


Who thought it was a good idea to use the slowest color S2000. They could have made it an even race by using a white S2000. Or... if they wanted to dog that little econobox they could have used a Berlina S2000.

i wish that after every race the drivers would swap cars and have at it. I think then you could rule out driver ability and call it a fairer comparison.

I think it was plain to c that the driver of the civic was better and made less mistakes.
