Styling is subjective.

Apart from styling, more concern about whether the overheating issue has been solved. Improvement on traction and handling? Further weight loss?

Wish the heritage of R badge coming back in this gen.

It'll be an improvement over the FK8 and will have a faster Ring time. The tires alone will shave off some time. If they can't beat its predecessor, that's pretty poor product engineering.

My predictions:

Will weigh 20-80lbs more than Fk8. All signs point to the 11th gen being slightly heavier than the 10th.
10-20hp more to offset the additional weight.
Increased tire width to 265 due to additional weight and power.
Will have better cooling given stock power levels and grip. May still overheat if people tune for more power and/or add higher grip tires (that's not Honda's fault).

More reconnaissance laps, but at a good pace. Do they normally attempt record runs with a passenger?

Absolutely not. This is the stage where the engineers are setting up the car doing the fine tweeting etc.
The single pilot fastest lap attempts will come much later, most likely in spring like the FK8 was (April 3 2017)
