In September the Civic is back on track!
Maby earlyer in France

In 2010 we've got married and there has to be a diffrent car, ofcourse a Honda.
So we take the plane to England and bought a Honda Beat.
After a trip of almost 1000km back to Holland the Beat got a respray.
And now Bobby is living with us in our garage.

The Civic is running again and had some trackdays!
France, Time Attack finals in Holland and my wife puched the Civic on the track!

A few weeks ago i continued the Time Attack compition.
This time it was the final race.
In the biginning of this year is started in division Semi Pro. but i was to fast for the index time so i was transfered in division Pro.
The final race i did't push the Civic to hard and my laptime was just 2.21 after is did a 2.16 in just four laps before my crash earlear this year..
The final results for me with my 125hp little Civic was a 25th place out of 29 contestents witch were K-Civic's, K-Integra's, B-series Civic's, Evo's and much more. Not to bad

I'm planning to rebuild the Civic suspension and upgrade the car to a real trackday Civic and I hope to make my comeback in 2013..

Final results :

"This Sunday, 25 years after his victory in the Group A class, the replica of the Motul Mugen Civic SI Race Car will be doing a tribute to Osamu Nakako Hideki Okada who raced this Civic in 1987.
But a special tribute will be made to Soichiro Honda.
RIP Oyaji"


Last Sunday the Civic joint the second round of the Time Attack competition in the Netherlands.

After the crash last year i begon to rebuild the suspension earlier this year.
I can post some pics from the rebuild, but there are a lot
At the first of April the first round of the dutch Time Attack took place at TT circuit Assen. For me this was a testing session to vring back some trust in the Civic.
It went great! But i didn't push it to hard so i only ended at the 16th place with 37 contestants..

Last Sunday the little Motul Civic made his comeback!
2 seconds faster then last year after i only did 4 laps before i crashed..
The Civic feld great! Cornering was absolutly fantastic!
I made it to the finals and finisht at 6th with 33 contestants! ( ITR's, Nsx-es, b16/b18 Civic's, Impreza's )
Happy again!

Here is a video from inside the Motul Civic.
Some yellow flays in the biginning.. at 11min i drove my fasted lap 8)
