What I can't understand is why there was no anouncement at a big event like the Tokyo Motor Show?? Can the big brass at Honda be so naive of good PR that they couldn't see some milage in such an anouncement????? Some times I really do despair of their lack of savy :(

Great farewell from NSX to SuperGT. It just shows how competitive the NSX has been for all these years. Hopefully the car will be successful in Britcar championship and maybe longer then just some races.

I bet Renault follows suit.

@brunobati They can't use a V10 in the GT500 only a Nippon V8 by the new rules.
