It’s Friday! Let’s celebrate the impending weekend with a Best Motoring: Hot Version all-Honda track battle. As is the way with all Hot Version entrants, the cars are modified for track work. The battle at hand is around a very wet Tsukuba Circuit, featuring two S2000’s, two NSX’s and a first-generation CRX, which handily covers every type of hot Honda: front-engine, front wheel drive; front-mid engine, rear wheel drive, and mid-engine, rear wheel drive.
Let’s see how Japan’s fastest drivers battle it out in some of Japan’s fastest tuner cars:
Jake Stumph is a lifelong car enthusiast and racer, and former content editor for Internet Brands Automotive which he joined in 2015. His work has been featured by several other prominent automotive outlets, including Jalopnik and Autobytel.
He obtained a bachelor's degree in Political Science at the Ohio State University in 2013, then pivoted from covering politics and policy to writing about his automotive adventures, something that, he says, is a lot more fun. Since that time, he has established connections with most of the world's major automakers, as well as other key brands in the automotive industry.
He enjoys track days, drifting, and autocross, at least, when his cars are running right, which is uncommon.
