Mini van racer, a la SPOON, it's FITing...
Went to thunderhill this weekend to check out the racing since i blew my motor and could not participate. Decided to go to the Friday practice session sense i get out of school earily and was bored as all hell. I had asked some people i knew if the FIT was going to be there, and no one had an answer, well i found out it was there, this car is REALLY goofing looking.
My On track impression is WOW, the thing is only running 1.5L Vtec motor, so it's not the fastest on the strights, but the FIT was coming down the stright way full throttle kept it in the throttle all the way threw 1. Now in my car i was coming out going into turn 1 at about 85-90 and braking from a much higher speed, a bone stock VX hatch can get up too 100mph at the end of the stright, and the FIT is faster then the VX, its SET UP. well enough with the talk here are the pics

Best Motoring dvd. They visit the Type One garage, and show you a completely stripped down version. There's a lot of factory bracing and rigidity built right in. The inside center portion of the chasis takes cues from F1 chasis design.

Most race teams are going to stay away from the dc2r and the EP chassi, with the Mac suspension up front.
thats why last year spoon did the TSX, i think? and many other high $$ or sponsored drivers pic the TSX or TL.

serously i got there saw it, and was like "whoa that **** REALLY looks like a mini van"
i was then standing on one of the near one of the back strights, the FIT comes down going pretty good, take the inside line on 14 (a sharp right handed turn) so he could pass, and i was expecting him to really need to slow down like most cars, but naw he just railed it.
the thing get something like 45 mpg on street driving, and has an 8 gallon tank. I was listing to there enduro stratagy
