8 minutes short? That's sucks

[astorbergonzoni]

almost desqualified for noise problems?? wtf its a race since when thats matters?

[magusofstars623]

@astorbergonzoni I grew up in Willows, California, where the track is located, you can hear the cars at night echoing down from the hills, it wasn't a problem for me at all since I enjoyed it, but I guess its possible some people might not have held that same enthusiasm.

[jimmyki]

too bad they only got 7th....jesus!!!

[RunningTheRiot]

[abunaiN1]

[Ge0vone]

@txedomask433 Whaaaaa?!?!?!?

T_T

[Ge0vone]

I hope Spoon comes back for the 2010 race

Would love to see more Japanese tuners here in the US

[peakskir]

I was one of the drivers on the 2nd Spoon Car entry (93)... Despite having some mechanical issues, the Spoon Team car also finished the race... My first time wheeling the car was friday night, during qualifying, where I qualified it ahead of the faster Civic Type R. Had we not had the mechanical issues, the car would have been a formidable force out there. Spoon cars are prep'd phenominally.. I drove exclusively at night for the team.

[TDistributors]

vtec ftw

[St0pTrashTyping]

That sucks about the porsche hitting him, comes with racing, but I'm glad to see the honda was in 1 piece. I was never a fan of hondas back in the day, was always about amiercan muscle, However, I now enjoy hondas and other imports. be safe and enjoy your vehicles.

[yuning83]

much respect to spoon's owner, a passionate car guy and funny at times!

[alucard0712]

[mangustadetomaso]

Nice one, GT Channel! Loved it.

[jdmxdb8]

I was there at the race. There were other cars that were much louder than the Spoon FD2 CTR. I'm excited to attend again this year.

[shoma12]

I hope we can cheer for you guys at the Nurburgring also some time! :) Go Civic!

[Dominuce]

i hope KAZUNORI learned a lot and hopefully apply it to the next grand turismo game

[aaarvinzzz]

mitani is such a pussy..he was like calling his mom for help when hit by the porsche..haha

[MontyPython12]

my god hondas look good in Spoon livery! If they have this car in gt5, im buying it

[d15z1sux]

noise limit?! the race officials just couldn't handle the MAD VTAK YOOO!!!1111111

[omghellapissed]

im getting sick of how long its taking for gt5 to come out....i think imma freeze myself in the freezer >;l

[CJAEY]

Those Porsches are serious lol. They easily overtook all the Miata's and Honda's with ease

[b17ek]

SO THIS IS WHERE KAZUNORI BEEN!!! ..while i been wating for gran-turismo!! >:( lol

[AllKidsOutNow]

What a load of crap noise level?!?! c'mon this is America! Thats why we dont get Type R's!!

[matthiais]

where can i get those fur purple hoodies?!

[deriwhiteswift]

hahah this is race man! come on! NOISE LEVEL IS SUCH A BULLSHIT

[NSX86R]

@deriwhiteswift Agreed.

[deriwhiteswift]

on 01:17 GRANTURISMO Bos?

[BradComis]

Good video. Plus it's the same voice over guy that does the Best Motoring videos, lol.

[superman1309]

It's a race car there should not be a noise limit.

[Heavydice]

Gotta love Spoon

[linkdarkshadow]

Wow! I never knew that this event actually happened. Its also my first time seeing a

"REAL" sports Civic on US soil.

Great video!

[Liist]

Noise level? That's what I like to call "fucking bullshit."

[slipstream17]

@Liist

hell yeah dude! 30 mins fixing that muffler could've been the difference between 1st and 7th place!

[DriftKing18594]

@Liist

It's a 25-hour race. So, if there is a residential area near Thunderhill, chances are at least one person will be trying to sleep when the race is on.

[ELITEnoOBno2]

I hope the Spoon car will be in GT5. ^^

[imperialjeht]

i suddenly realized that gabby de la merced drove for the spoon euro r in this race...

[nikkolightcrips19]

@imperialjeht yeah i noticed it too haha she the race queen in phil. haha

[hallurs]

i want more vids like this ! :D

[G2IntegraDA]

Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it. I'm actually quite surprised they finished 7th considering only Hattori is/was a GT racer and the other drivers were presidents of other companies and an editor. Very nice racing. 8) Looking forward to more videos like this.

[dlzp1989]

Awesome !

[giriphotography]

lol funny voice over

[Rawr454]

Awesome, real racers, real racing; Glad something like this came to the U.S., I saw a Miata or two in there, hopefully next year I can atleast head up there with mine. It's great to see the world can still get together on race day.

[QaisRAK]

very bad drivers

[maddluckz]

i like this new stuff commin out GT keep it up better than buy the god dam thing!!!LOL

[kmi187]

[princze89]

oh, HD!

[misterjimmy81]

Great job GT Channel on this documentary. Wish I went with my buddy that day to spectate the event.

[ChueHang17]

I'm glad that the Spoon Sports FD2R made it through the long race.

[nanocg8]

well personally i think (not an expert) it helps give a good balance on the rear part of the car because the front bumper might be giving more downforce than they need so they put it so it could be to slightly equal on the downforce over all the car because for any fast turns or straights u need a good stable car and put down watever power u have and not spin out.... great video!! love the way it was made!!

[subeefan]

25 hours... 75 teams. this could be interesting

[magnumluver]

I was wondering the use of a rear spoiler on a fwd vehicle? usually ricers only do that but i'm sure Spoon put it there for a reason, how does it help the handling characteristics? wouldn't it make it understeer more?

[asianmovement]

@magnumluver it helps with cornering by putting downforce on the rear wheels.

[djrollzz]

@magnumluver down force provides traction to rear tires

[PreludeH22A5]

@magnumluver You are right and you are not.

In real life- yea, thats stupid, even on a RWD car, what for? Spoiler works after about 120km/h (75mph), and those speed are way over speed limits

Racing... They do it on slicks, so spoiler adds rear stability in corners. Those JDM type-Rs are known with their tail slide in hard corners

[wsm34]

a true tunning company!!!

[GOOSEej]

I love spoon!!! Always been a fan.

great video!

[triple709]
