Default Yuki Tsunoda donuts

Just saw a short clip of Yuki and another Red Bull driver doing donuts in a white S2000

Someone more proficient than I can probably bring it in

At first, I thought Yuki had a new-style bakery.

Here he is, arriving at the F1-75 live event.

Isack Hadjar in the passenger seat is his teammate for this years season.


I believe the S2000 he's driving is the one that every media company that features an s2k over here use. All I know is that its a "Type 100" and is featured in every single piece of media about the s2k in the UK over the last 4 or 5 years.

This video is reason #853 for disabling your VSA permanently, using a pair of pliers.

Yeah, that's the '09 "GT Edition 100" model used by Honda UK as a press car. In Europe, it was marketed as the "Ultimate Edition". Each car came with a GPW hard top and special trim, including red-lettered CR-style shift knob and numbered door sills. (Oddly, the numbered door sills had 4 digits, not 3.) The LHD car used for EU press had a standard-issue Germany plate (i.e. not a vanity plate).

I've never been able to definitively verify whether each region got 100 cars, or if only 100 were built and they were split between the EU and UK. Regardless, a fun fact: the GT100 cars were the only Grand Prix White S2000s ever made for the UK market! The UK had Platinum White Pearl as an option for several years, but GPW had never been available.

You mean, in case an F1 driver borrows my car to a press event, then tries to show off, but doesn't know about the VSA switch?

Couldn't I just tell him about the switch?

Is this gonna be the next Geico commercial? Everyone knows to check first?

Reason #852 is if I become a F1 driver.

That is very interesting thank you. I never knew about the GPW only being on the GT100s.
I was pretty sure it was a press car as its everywhere in S2000 media in the UK
There's a GT100 for sale on auto trader for £32k, a fair bit more than the 9k I paid for my 05 Silverstone.

Costco's new Almond Croissant is heavy & dangerous... 750 calories from what I've Googled. Half of it is good enuf for a serving.
