wow, fantastic video. I was expecting some lightweight top-gear style 'report' but they were actually really going for it! some amazing driving going on in that NSXR but I cannot believe it overheated!!! maybe something to do with being mid-engined? not enough airflow? perhaps that's why the LM edition has the stupid roof scoop?

CSL also held its own, but there was no stopping the lambos!

Poooooowwwwwwwweeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!!!

excellent vid. most impressed with the handling of the nsx thru the fast s-bends, altho on the long straights the lambo's had the speed. Great driving

Looks a bit staged to me. IMO the NSX should have been completely out-classed. Still some racers having a good bit 'o fun

Rather boring footwork for the SMT cars

NSXR but I cannot believe it overheated!!! maybe something to do with being mid-engined? not enough airflow?
The radiator is still at the front though - and thats where the all cool air is

Apprantly Honda did give advice that some coolants containing high amounts of silicates damage the water pump seals, maybe a possible explaination. Plus the system is a pain to bleed the air out of (engine in back...radiator at the front, not suprising really ).

Was surprised to see how slow the Ferrari was. Thought it would have stood up a little better than it did....
