NSX

The JDR built Honda NSX race car is undergoing a number of engineering developments prior to the 2010 season. Replacing the gearbox with a paddle shift unit is the biggest change requiring custom design bell housing and driveline parts all designed in house at JDR.

In addition we are working the design of improved aerodynamic parts, power steering an light weight parts.

Meanwhile here are a few pictures from the cars successful first outings last year.
