That would be a great addition. I wonder when/if they'll update the body style?

That's interesting, the Nismo team on Michelin tires! Any lap times from the test, Samurai? It looks wet, I would figure the Epson HSV would be fast.

No time.
Honda announces the development target of 2013 HSV-010. Honda set "the ease in handling" as the basic concept for 2013 HSV-010. 2012 HSV-010 had the narrow sweet spot of the machine setting (peaky character). Therefore, Honda aimed at making the machine which is easy in handling by expanding the width of machine setting. Honda is going to correct the aerodynamics character and weight distribution towards 2013. http://response.jp/article/2012/12/25/187726.html |

Sounds good. An easy car to set-up will make for a wider range the car can work. I wonder what the weight balance issue was.

Autosport magazine reports interview to Hiroshi Fushida about Mother chassis plan of Dome.
*The Mother chassis will be set to FR layout. *The sports car project of Dome will also become FR layout. *The prototype of the Mother chassis is manufactured around the summer in 2013. *Monocoque will be manufactured not by honeycomb structure but by "UOVA" style. *The weight of monocoque is about 150 kg including tubular frame. *It is dependent on BoP of GTA whether the Mother chassis spreads. |

Still, if they want to race Porsches or Ferraris, the teams could use GT3 cars instead. IMO, FR cars based on the "Mother Chassis" is similar to BTCC/TTA setup. |

It's because Japanese manufacuterers are not manufacturing MR-car. However, Mother chassis for MR layout may be developed. |
