In Japan, spec racing with Honda Integra Type-R's and Civic Type-R's are immensely popular. On a smaller, tighter track, I see no reason why the tC wouldn't be. Having driven both Type-R's in Japan while I lived there on a track and in the mountains they are great fun sport coupes.

As has been stated thousands of times and I haven't seen anyone dissagree, it is 90% driver. Spec racing isn't about who has the biggest pocketbook and IMHO separates the men from the boys.

The tC is light, has a strong engine (note I didn't say powerfull), rigid, solid construction, and handles well for an entry-level sport coupe in the hands of a good driver. Due to it being an entry-level sport coupe they are also cheap. All good qualities for a spec, track car. Am I wrong?
