Default "Honda Hall of Fame" at nsxfiles.com

Just stumbled upon this on Dougs NSXFiles site. He is keeping track of lap times at various tracks for Honda drivers. I think you just send the info to him and he posts it. Go here http://www.nsxfiles.com/stories.htm and click the Honda Hall Of Fame link on the left menu.

And on a side note, be sure to checkout Chapter 85 at the above site. There are some cool shots of a Ferrari F50 GT1 car that has some descent specs:

750 HP at 10,500 RPMs
Sequential gear box
Carbon Fiber chassis
1800 lbs (without water and oil, 2000 lbs with)
Carbon rotors
0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds
235 MPH top speed

This is a great idea. Honda Challenge guys should contribute their times.

It'd be great if this actually grew into a database of times to baseline yourself against at just about any track in the country .

I sent him a few of mine.

Doug is a lagger on updating that tho. As far as benching, I find ITA times are good to bench against. I'm still slower than ITA times, granted I'm in a street car... but the goal is to beat it sometimes next year.

Wanna see something cooler? GT1 video footage.

Notice, you will not (can not) hear anything out of Doug's F355. All the noise are F40 and F50 GT1 cars. It sounds like F1 cars. and, driven by total ametuer rich people. F50 GT1 comes with Sequential Gearbox. But, it is not computer actuated. So, it is going to sound awesome.
