The 20th Anniversary of the Honda NSX

To continue on the NSX week..

Last weekend was the 20th Anniversary of the Honda NSX.
The meet was held during the performance days at the famous Nurburgring.
Special part was a meeting of European based NSXs. A total of 58 cars made it out there.

You must understand the special appearance of the car since at normal meetings, there are a max 15 cars together.

It all started at Saturday morning when most of the NSXs and more Hondas joined up and drove off to the ring. Must be an awesome thing to drive there with a lot of those cars.

Sunday morning everybody showed up at the GP Strecke.

Everybody parked up together and then it was time for photo’s and a loot of catching up between the owners.

Since I know you guys also like the ladies, so at this point I’ll just shut up and let you enjoy the rest of the pictures.

Also a cool example of how a Ringracer should look like.

Thank you Dimer, once more for the shots.

NSX Rain Race Crash

Seems like it’s NSX week 😉

Once again – most of you are probably familiar with Dimer’s NSX over in the Netherlands. It’s an interesting story of how he got hold of the NSX – being passed down from his dad after he started having troubles getting in and out of the car.
In the past, Dimer’s dad tracked it quite a bit and now Dimer follows in his track bringing it often to the Nurburgring and various tracks to compete or just have fun.

Back in 2005, Dimer’s dad had brought it to the Spa Franchorchamps and on the Second lap he had crashed at a speed of more than 200 kph at Blanchimont. Due to rain and unpredictable road conditions, you’ll see what happens at the 5:00 minute mark for those impatient ones.

Since then, it has been restored to the state that you’ve all seen in previous posts. As mentioned, Dimer will be going to the Nurburgring shortly, so hopefully we will have some shots of it in action.

24 Hours of Hi-Def bliss

I was just surfing the net and came upon this amazing video shot by Tim Hahne at the 24 hours of Nurburgring. Using only a Canon 5D MkII and a few lenses, he captured the entire day in what I feel is one of the most amazing racing videos out there. He really captures the spirit of the day, from the start to the finish, from the trials and tribulations endured by the drivers and crews of such an endurance event to the joys of finishing the race to what the fans and spectators were doing. Truly an amazing watch.
