This is a great for you guys because it means there will be some insane photography and good inside info from the event. They were both at Fuji recently testing and Dino grabbed these snaps for speed hunters.
The car has been almost completely changed outside and under the hood. New body items include front splitter, front fenders, rear fenders. The result is absolutely perfect.
New Engine looks as good as before. It's tuned for Sonoco race fuel and offers big HP gains over the previous setup. We can expect this car to run some seious times. Based on looks I think it has the goods to topple the Pan Speed guys. But time shall tell about the performance.
Wheels are 18"x11.0"J "TE37 SL" What is "SL"? It is a special version especially for Super Lap. This version is specially produced and they are 400g lighter for a similar sized wheel. This was before paint and the raw finish shaves weight and increases style! Are these the ultimate wheels? I think so! Special Rays stickers finish them off. They are now a darker colour after smoke and clear coat.
Kinoshita has his work cut out to learn eastern creek circuit, but as a pro, I'm sure he will be on the pace in no time at all.
Tsukuba is a much tighter track and the tyre compounds will be an issue for these cars. 55.947 in 2006 on a 2klm circuit is no measure 3.93klm and 2010 is a complete change. The cars are testing at fuji for a reason. Longer circuit and similar times around the 1.40 ish mark are to be expected.

Acura A flowing design amalgamated with green concepts
The Beast:
Acura 2+1 is one of the most revolutionary future cars in terms of the way it is envisioned and the features that it would sport. Unlike many concept car designs, the beauty of Acura does not just lie in its outer shell. Designed by Leon Paz, the car has a lot more to it than the flowing design and the aerodynamic roof. It is loaded with cool eco-friendly features that make it perfect for the tomorrow’s green world.
The Machine:
Acura gets it spot on with its cool V6 engine being displayed in a transparent hood at the front. The car sports a cool and hip trend that is catching on in terms of hood windows. Its transparent roof comes with a coating of transparent solar panels that capture solar energy and provide the extra oomph for the car when needed. The engine is inaccessible to the consumer and the car is provided with an annual service system that revamps it each year with latest biofuel and organic upholstery for the interiors. The 2+1 seating offers both space and a styling option for the Acura
The Thrill:
This is one of the best and most practical designs of a concept car that has come about in a long time. Many of the features and idea stated by Leon might make their way into future automobile designs as the entire industry on wheels is trying hard to turn green.

JANUARY EDITORIAL ZOOM ZOOMING INTO 2009
When I was a kid, my absolute favourite place in the world was Westwood Raceway. It was quite an amazing location, carved into the side of a mountain outside Vancouver, Canada. In the late 70s and early 80s, I used to spend a lot of time there, as my father and I used to race gokarts. I was fairly quick in my time, but I didn't really like racing that much to be honest... I found it to be quite stressful. For me, the most fun part about being at Westwood, was watching the car races. After each...
CAR SPOTLIGHT BMW PERFORMANCE IMOLA
When at Imola the other week I spotted a couple of interesting looking factory modified BMW's sitting in the paddock. First up the 123d here is fitted with the full BMW Performance package, which adds some tantalizing parts like the sportier front bumper, side skirts with air intake...
...and a nice carbon lip spoiler.
Sitting next to it was this 335i sedan, wearing some very aggressively styled 19-inch wheels. We asked the guys at BMW if we could take the car into the pits to grab some quick pictures, something they were more than happy to arrange.
The 1-series however had already been moved into the little display booth in the BMW hospitality area, but it didn't matter as the tiled floor and excellent lighting made for a nice ambiance.
The exterior package is joined by a pair of reclinable bucket seats, clad in soft suede and leather. They are even fitted with a side airbag, just in case things go wrong.
They are accompanied by the sports steering wheel, which on top of the suede leather features a digital display on the top part of the rim and sequentially lit LED strips just like on an F1 steering wheel.
The BMW Performance treatment is topped off with carbon fiber trim for the interior.
The 123d rides on special 18-inch wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires. Lowered suspension help sharpen up the handling while the massive 6-pot calipers from the 135i keep braking under control.
Carbon mirrors are the cherry on the cake!
The sedate look of the 4-door 335i has been spiced up with BMW Performance front and rear bumpers. Notice the blacked out grille, a very nice touch.
Under the hood the twin turbocharged 3L straight six has been remapped to offer an additional 20 HP, bringing power up to 326 HP. Torque gets a nice bump too.
Here is a closer view of those BMW Performance 19-inch wheels. Would have been nice to see the same 6-pot brakes from the 123d used on the 335i, as I'm sure they would definitely come in handy given the power and weight of the larger car. It is great to see BMW is giving enthusiasts top quality products to spice up their cars, let's hope the line-up will grow in the future with all other BMW models being catered for.

NEW CARSFORD FOCUS RS500
Ford this week have unveiled the latest iteration of it's Focus RS line, the RS500. It's a homage to the original Sierra Cosworth RS500 and like it's predecessor, it'll also be limited to a run of just 500 cars. The car wil be making it's first public debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th.
The power levels are up to 350PS from the same 2.5 litre turbo charged powerplant. The power hike has been acheived by using a larger air-to-air intercooler, uprated air filter, a larger diameter downpipe, an uprated fuel pump and a remap to take advantage of the new parts. These numbers deliver a 0-60 of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 164MPH. Not shabby for a car that's FWD.
The matt black finish is courtesy of a specially developed 3M foil wrap, the cars are actually metallic black underneath the wrap. Some splashes of colour are provided with red calipers, red 500 badging and blue RS badging.
The interior is finished with red detailing, a contrast to the blue provided on the standard RS Focus. The centre console has a carbon fibre finish and a unique plaque stating the cars model number. The front seats are bespoke Recaro sports items, which can be finished in leather.
To ensure the durability of these upgrades, the car has been subjected to a series of tests which have focused on the car's track capabilities. The tests included a massive stint at the Nordschleife, where Ford had three of their own racing drivers and a team of engineers complete a whopping 10,000KM non-stop of driving the Green Hell. After 500 laps, Ford were happy enough with the car and were confident that an eight minute laptime is within reach of the car.
