When news broke that the NSX was to quit racing in the Japan Super GT Series, there were many broken hearts. It’s true that the NSX is the last great Honda and the fact that it carries a little bit of Ayrton Senna just adds to the appeal. But it has appeared that the NSX is not dead after all though it will not be campaigned by Honda themselves.
There may not be many race fans who follow the Brticar Championship and chances are you may never have heard of it but that’s where the NSX will be racing next and will be run by a certain John Danby Racing Team. You may not follow the race series but we’re sure you can definately appreciate these pictures of the Honda NSX racer.
Built to comply with the Britcar Production regulations, the matte black NSX has already completed a successful shakedown test ahead of it’s debut at the season’s final round at Brands Hatch this weekend (Nov 7th). The UK-based racing team has fitted the racer with all the latest race gizmos such as engine control, data-logging capabilities via GPS, fly-by-wire, and live video feed mounts.
Custom solutions have been adopted for the dampers and brakes to suite driver preference. Racing the NSX in the daytime production race will be fifth-gear host Vicki Butler-Henderson alongside John Danby Racing regular James Barclay while the car’s owner and Britcar regular Davin Fenn will race the NSX in the evening GT race alongside Barclay.
Britcar may not be big and we may never get live coverage of the race but it’s nice to know the legendary NSX will still be doing what it was meant to do, race.
