@pube83 I think the greatest thing about Honda is that they are primarily a motor company while others are car manufacturers. But try and argue with a ford or chevy guy about who makes the best engines.
@lolzoretwo most likely because the car is leaving the ground. On top of that hitting the rev limiter in a performance engine does not necessarily blow it. Now if he mis shifts and over revs beyond the limiter... Chance for it to go Bang.
Not to mention the NSX engines are practically race worthy from the factory featuring forged titanium connecting rods (in 1990). The Corvette, for instance, didn't receive titanium rods until the 2006 ZO6 trim level. Ferrari started using them in 1994 with the F355.
reason why he holds in the clutch early is cuz there is freeplay in the clutch it is a racing car for one and the clutch is still engaged even though he is putting his foot on it........
@lolzoretwo Well he was a racing driver long time ago, he's retired. Sounds like a lot of you guys have been playing too much Granturismo and thinking you all can take over formula one or something
Unbelievable. Took a look at recent records at the 'ring - It takes 12+ years and 100+ more HP to beat the NSX. A tribute to having a racing driver provide input into a car's handling.
His footwork is awful, nobody would open the clutch until shifting, I mean look at Senna in Suzuka in NSX. He's a true god going over the speedo twice. Senna would post a great lap time here for sure.
Bad downshift and over-revved at 4:48 youtube time 4:24 on-screen time. Caught it with the clutch though before it bent valves. Gan San is an incredible driver. I've seen just about all of his videos.
am i correct in saying that the honda nsx r was the first production car available to the public that cracked 8 minutes at the 'ring? i read/heard about it from somewhere. 7' 58" or something like that.
@tonhaxxor "Not all of the following lap times are comparable. A full lap of the Nordschleife, bypassing the modern GP track, is 20.832 km (12.944 mi) long. Most laps are completed 200 metres (656 ft) shorter for safety reasons"
@sicjustinmagot it's called 'heel & toe' and is used my capable racing drivers in a car with manual gearbox.
When you match the revs of the engine to the lower gear (example downshift from 4th to 3rd), there is less wear to the clutch and more stability in the drivetrain. When you don't heel & toe while changing down, there is a slight judder in the drivetrain which can cause instability, which is something you don't want.
For a good video, check this : 'Race Car Driver & His Footwork'
So, he is using his right foot on both the brake/accelerator at the same time, just to match rev's during a downshift, right? I think I watched his feet more than the track. Good stuff.
@DDRGURU56 most engines arent made to be held on the redline, but this is an nsx. you have to drive them just below cut-out revs if you want to get the best time. you're probably thinking about old tech v8's and family saloons. beautiful singing from nsx :-)
This is a joke right? After 20 seconds, a 2.0 litre turbo 230 bhp Renault Megane R26R is crossing the Finish line with a 8:16 time. Great driving though.
@Depmester ... Yes I saw that. I didn't know they were limited to 180 ... such a dumb thing to do when you have a 3.2 litre engine developing 280 hp (a very capable car).
@Dissez503 He is changing down, braking and matching the revs at the same time. Most race drivers do that. Some (like Hans- Joachim Stuck) braked and pressed accelerator at the same time to not to lose the pressure of a turbocharger in fast turns as he drove for audi in 80s.
this guy is amazing! haha i wish i could drive like that. check out the little trick he had at 5:00. watch his feet there. hes slowing down while getting the engive revved up to take off the clutch
@KiKaL8 He's using a technique called "Heel and Toeing" you basically brake with the big toe of your right foot and use the outside of your right foot to blip the throttle just before you engage the gear. It's vital to use this when slowing down for a corner and keeping the downshift smooth. Takes a lot of practice!
He has driven thousands of laps there, in lots of races, so that's why he can drive like that. When he was a kid he was Japan's Formula 2000 champion 1973 more than 25 years before this video! then raced in Europe. That's why he is so good.
Mr Kurosawa drives like rock solid. He uses every potential of NSX-R. No waste in his driving. It feels like whole car is just working its best for him, even each bolts and nuts are working hard for him. He is great great driver..... After watching this video, I feel modern GT-R(R35) is great jump for japanese which easily gets fast enough to break lap record of NSX-R with perfect driver.
omg is gan san he is about 50 + years old and official ex-driver of honda that man knows pretty good the hondas especially the Type R's and everything with VTEC on it :)
Dont all talk bad things! Nurburgring is 25+km and you cant all that 25km drive without mistake! Even and pros have mistakes we watching that all day in F1,WRC and etc!
if that was 945hp all that car would be doin on this track is spinnin the tires.this is diffentally stock.i would know.my coworker has a acura nsx (we raced against my loaner g37x) and i will tell you for a car that old it has power.my m35 has some mods (still NA) and isant nearly as fast as that car.
A great video and an awesome car. All the new cars that lap the Ring are faster because they're turbocharged eg Nissan GTR. And we all know that's called "cheating."
Those other cars fall-apart pretty badly too. Lot of beaten-up Nissans around....
Ek9 was my first car. when i bought it my driving skill was crap. the more i drive it and the more i get to know my car the more i can improve on its inner ability to drive well... honda's are a hard car to master driving.
AVHBI - i didnt say vtec kicks in when u downshift, as i said its necessary if u want to get 100% performance from a vtec engine.
SR441 - i dont think theres many FWD cars out there that can compare to EK9, DC2, FD2 etc on a track.
as CORSASPORT2433 said, u cant compare big muscle cars or big turbos etc with a EK9.., if ur going to compare this car to something else atleast its gotta be in the same league.
actually heel and toe doesnt work on ALL cars, im not saying heel & toe is just necessary for hondas either, im saying for VTEC its necessary if u want it to perform at its best. If u havnt done ur research on how honda engines work then u wont understand nor will u know how to drive them im sure.
I agree with kkong6, the thing is sr4410 you and many other people on youtube know fuck all about hondas, again alot of people are comparing ek9s to massive 3.0 liters turbos and whatever eles. the ek9 is only a 1.6 and will leave you standing in corners.
a honda may have great suspension. I'm not denying it, some highend cars don't even have the tuning potential, but none the less I still stand by my first point. lol @ me knowing fuck all. I work for Honda.
heel and toe is necessary for all VTEC engines, by doing this keeps the vtec active so the power is straight there for u to exit the corner, alot of people dont know how to drive vtecs which is why so much slack is given to the honda name, i get the same when i sold my ek9 to my sister, just heard complaints about it being slow when actually the fact is, some people just dont know how to drive them, any honda enthusiasts can support me on this~
Nothing to do with the VTEC. VTEC does nothing when downshifting and it's also nothing like a turbo where you want to keep the turbos spooling. VTEC is only another set of more aggressive cams that will only work at higher rpm. What he's actually doing is balancing the rpm of the engine with the gearbox so that there is no sudden shift in the cars balance.
Heel toe is necessary for ALL engines, it has NOTHING to do with VTEC. All heel toe does is align revs with the revs of the trans. Fact is, unless you dump money into it, its JUST another honda, and its still slow.
Hmmm he dont go down 6500 RPM, even in neutral he keeps it above 6500 RPMs. I can just imagine how fast and feels like. geez im in 4000 RPM in tight corner here ill be scared lol.
lol i got tought by my dad yo rev my engine on the down shift,dubble clutch,heal toe.......it was good but when i came to learning to drive to pass my test i foud it very hard to drive the way they wanted me to
the 320hp i quote from some car magazine. becaused they said the last type r was a lot powerful than the rated bhp. of course honda only tells us 280 because of the japanese rule then that no car shall be made with more than 280hp.
not bad for a car that first came out in 1990. at most 320 hp (normally aspirited) compared to a gtr's 480 hp (turbo). and the lfa's 552 hp (f1 tech). the latter 2 came out 2008 and 2009 respectively. that almost 2 decades. both with paddle shifters, launch controls, better suspension, larger brakes, and better power to weight ratio. the shifting diffrence alone may have cost the nsx a few seconds. not bad really for a 20 year old technology. it is just off by 26 or so seconds to the lfa.
pretty slow nowadays, but u could tell its the max of the nsx already driven by a really pro driver, technologies is amazing isnt it; oh by the way nitroxize, thats call heel toe

bare in mind when my EK9 was standard, i flew past friends cars still..PS13, S14a, Mini cooper S, Ford RS, golf R32 MK4...
BUT...couldnt pass other fds cars like evo, skyline, sti & rx7 etc..
Hondas are for track and handling..not for racing straight lines etc what skill is there to racing in a line? not much really lol

Ek9 was my first car. when i bought it my driving skill was crap. the more i drive it and the more i get to know my car the more i can improve on its inner ability to drive well... honda's are a hard car to master driving.

AVHBI - i didnt say vtec kicks in when u downshift, as i said its necessary if u want to get 100% performance from a vtec engine.
SR441 - i dont think theres many FWD cars out there that can compare to EK9, DC2, FD2 etc on a track.
as CORSASPORT2433 said, u cant compare big muscle cars or big turbos etc with a EK9.., if ur going to compare this car to something else atleast its gotta be in the same league.

DC2's are nice.

actually heel and toe doesnt work on ALL cars, im not saying heel & toe is just necessary for hondas either, im saying for VTEC its necessary if u want it to perform at its best. If u havnt done ur research on how honda engines work then u wont understand nor will u know how to drive them im sure.

I agree with kkong6, the thing is sr4410 you and many other people on youtube know fuck all about hondas, again alot of people are comparing ek9s to massive 3.0 liters turbos and whatever eles. the ek9 is only a 1.6 and will leave you standing in corners.

a honda may have great suspension. I'm not denying it, some highend cars don't even have the tuning potential, but none the less I still stand by my first point. lol @ me knowing fuck all. I work for Honda.

heel and toe is necessary for all VTEC engines, by doing this keeps the vtec active so the power is straight there for u to exit the corner, alot of people dont know how to drive vtecs which is why so much slack is given to the honda name, i get the same when i sold my ek9 to my sister, just heard complaints about it being slow when actually the fact is, some people just dont know how to drive them, any honda enthusiasts can support me on this~

Nothing to do with the VTEC. VTEC does nothing when downshifting and it's also nothing like a turbo where you want to keep the turbos spooling. VTEC is only another set of more aggressive cams that will only work at higher rpm. What he's actually doing is balancing the rpm of the engine with the gearbox so that there is no sudden shift in the cars balance.

no, hondas really are just under powered FWD cars for the most part... deal with it lol.
SR4410 1 year ago
Right.... So S2000 is an underpowerd FWD car? How about the NSX, a Mid engined RWD car...

Heel toe is necessary for ALL engines, it has NOTHING to do with VTEC. All heel toe does is align revs with the revs of the trans. Fact is, unless you dump money into it, its JUST another honda, and its still slow.

the 320hp i quote from some car magazine. becaused they said the last type r was a lot powerful than the rated bhp. of course honda only tells us 280 because of the japanese rule then that no car shall be made with more than 280hp.

@supertrex2 NSX Type-R = NSX R = lighter UFO with much performance that the standart

not bad for a car that first came out in 1990. at most 320 hp (normally aspirited) compared to a gtr's 480 hp (turbo). and the lfa's 552 hp (f1 tech). the latter 2 came out 2008 and 2009 respectively. that almost 2 decades. both with paddle shifters, launch controls, better suspension, larger brakes, and better power to weight ratio. the shifting diffrence alone may have cost the nsx a few seconds. not bad really for a 20 year old technology. it is just off by 26 or so seconds to the lfa.

I thought this car had 280 hp?

With more power and with pattle shifts. It could easily do like 7:30.

pretty slow nowadays, but u could tell its the max of the nsx already driven by a really pro driver, technologies is amazing isnt it; oh by the way nitroxize, thats call heel toe
