Since the launch of the Acura NSX
GT3 in America it was questioned whether one of the newest GT3s
in the block would stay into American racing or if would expand its
competition area, and the second option was revealed to be the choice
as the Honda NSX GT3 was presented this Thursday (27) at
Spa-Francorchamps as part of the 24 Hours of Spa events.
The car was prepared in a partnership
between Honda and JAS Motorsport, a link that is pretty
strong with long time in WTCC and also with the TCR customer programs
under care of the Italian squad. JAS Motorsport was responsible also
for the initial tests of the NSX GT3 while in Italy with Peter Kox at
the wheel before being sent to United States to be used by RealTime
Racing and Michael Shank Racing in Pirelli World Challenge and in the
IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship.
A batch of 12 cars are expected to be
ready for the 2018 season, with JAS Motorsport doing also the sales
and customer support in Europe, South America and in the Asian
continent outside Japan. The NSX GT3 recently got two GTD class wins
and a podium in IMSA competition to the records as good results are
coming since the introduction of the car at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Around the world the NSX GT3 will face
an incredibly higher level of competition in the GT3 championships,
as no less than 11 manufacturer models and 3 tuner models clash in
races varying from 1 to 24 hours, being them standalone or
multi-classed.
