Iāve heard that they didnāt sort that out yet, but if the mags said it, then Iām out of the loop. My understanding was that the some were pushing for a DCT/Auto option
Iām almost certain that this will be the last ICE Honda with the Nurburgring FWD record.
I still donāt know if itāll be DCT or not, but at this point, itās in the hands of the car journos to figure that out - DCT would contribute to a faster Ring time and would keep with the Type Sā philosophy.
Iāve been saying this for some time. The photo is the OSU horseshoe and itās driving around OSUās campus in Columbus, OH. They wanted pics of this car on the internet. The tires are all seasons because itās below 40F and in Ohio in November.
Ever wonder why the Civic Type R keeps making runs at...
When spring comes, if you want/need a fresh, unmodified 2020+ FK8 to compare your FL5 to, message me. Thereās a state between us, but I could get there. š
Many Honda engineers/employees in the states have yet to even see one in person and they havenāt had a press event with driving examples yet that I know of. š¤·āāļø
You know whatās odd of Honda? They never posted the 2020/2021 facelift FK8 or LE times at the āRing.
Iāve got a sneaky suspicion that the facelifted FK8 with the same tires as the FL5 will set a comparable lap time - remember that the FK8 facelift received several suspension and brake upgrades...
Itās not the same transmission as the R. Itās the old Si transmission with some improvements and management/parts from the R.
