    Acura TL wins class at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill *56K slow*

    http://www.nasaproracing.com/norcal...04-results.html
    And comes 3rd Overall!!!

    Team Honda Research will competing in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill with a Acura TL. The TL was designed and developed at Honda R&D Americas in Ohio (www.hondaresearch.com), so we were very excited to have the chance to work on this project and to help demonstrate the performance potential of the TL.

    What you see is the hard work of about 20 engineers and technicians, who have been working on their own time for more hours than I can count to help make this dream a reality. This project would not have been possible without the help of our partners on this project:

    H&R - custom dampers & springs
    Toyo Tires - Toyo RA-1 race tires
    NRC Aerospace - wind tunnel testing (http://iar-ira.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/aero_3.html)
    Prototype Racing - custom header & a-pipe (deletes all 3 cats)
    Roush Logistical Services - event transportation & support
    Acura A-Spec - ground effects
    Keihin - technical support
    Comptech - lightweight flywheel (from CL-S), street cat back exhaust
    Brembo - technical support
    SPC - adjustable camber ball joints & links
    Progress Technology - custom adjustable rear sway bar
    Goodridge - SS brake lines
