Watch the all-new 2023 Honda Civic Type R set a new track record for front-wheel drive cars* around the iconic 20.8-kilometer Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany.
*Based on Honda internal research (as of April 2023)
Props to his passenger for operating the pedals 👍
😂😂😂👌🏻
RHD pedalbox and LHD steering 🇯🇵🇩🇪
Best comment of the year 2023 😂
Ahhh, but the driver must have been blipping the throttle for the passenger
BRO you actually killed me with this lmfao
thank you for posting this with proper onboard camera angle/position and no cuts and no music. this is just how we car guys like it
I agree! Let me hear it as if I'm there. Excellent move by Honda
100%
Hell yeah! Cover up the LogR screen and show us completely useless g meters cause that tells car guys everything we need to know. 😑
It's good I don't hear: "*WUB WUB WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB* HHHHHHLIKE A BULLET TRAIN *BOWNNNNNN DUDUDUDUDU OOOOOOOOLLLL WUB WUB OOOOOOH WUUUUUUUUUUUUH*"
This is 2023 I expected no less🤷🏿
This Time lap Record: 80% Driver, 20% car. I think this is one of the most impressive Nordschleife's onboard i've ever seen, not for the speed instead, but for the driver commitment. Super Job!
Reminds me a lot of the old NSX Nord lap video
Both my friend
Why did the driver walk the track? All honda powered f1 engines
You have not seen me driving yet. Just hold my beer.
No intro, no fluff, just straight to the point for 7 minutes and 57 seconds. 10/10 Good job Honda
10/10ths. This lap is right on the knife’s edge at every turn. Very impressed how composed this driver is with his inputs while being constantly right on the limit.
Yea he chillin.
Japan driver 🇯🇵
Drift King Tyuchiya Keechi
@@RiasGremoryS54 haha nope. U can see his name on the helmet - Bebu Girolami, Honda TCR Team driver
That looked like 11/10ths to me.
Absolutely insane driving. Not surprised at all by the run, this car is insane!
Insanely modified that is, this particular model. I've driven the Type R and the front end is very lazy, the car tends to understeer quite a lot. This one is super sharp and oversteers in every corner. Clearly modified suspension compared to stock just for this lap. Not to mention if they sold this setup to the public 99% of people would bin the car the first time they'd drive it above 5/10ths.
Man's a driver
@@derbigpr500not true, the only modification is the tires. They're running cup 2's, extremely sticky tires. This is the front wheel drive record so it is imperative that the car is in stock form. If it was modified, this record wouldn't even count, so you're 100% talking nonsense.
@@derbigpr500 Wrong. Do your research before posting.
@@scottgardner5918 Exactly.
The amount of grip this car has is astonishing. The way the rear end rotates so cooperatively, Honda really knows their stuff and this guy is a monster behind the wheel.
Impressive use of 6th gear (4 times). No other driver of the stock FL5 has managed that on the Nordschleife with the usual longer gearing they have in 6th. Looks like uprated boost pressure (peaked at 1.83), a 0.3 bar uprate generally, and modified gear program. Will the new variant Type R S have these modifications? Would be great!
Definitely impressive! What a way to chea-… find performance!
I smell a hint of sarcasm x2 😂
And the gyroscope overlay is hilarious.. but very well tracked to conceal the screen 😂 Would've loved to see some more relevant data despite the cover-up
I for one am shocked that a professional racing driver got different characteristics out of a car than an accountant/YT vlogger. Also this is the CTR-S edition, as noted in their press release. Similar to what Renault did with the Trophy R, but Honda changed MUCH less than they did from the stock car.
@@JacobMueller how do you know if they've changed much less if the spec of the car is not even available? Different gearing ratios and turbo boost is not a minor change. Renault didn't change anything in the engine, they've simply removed backs seats, 4 control (which quite a lot of people didn'tt like anyway) and added 2 carbon parts (hood and diffuser). carbon breaks and wheels that were used to break the record are an overkill but you can still get them if you want as an option. Put Cup2R's on Megane and the record will be back at Renault with way more than 0.5s as it stands now for Honda.
Glued to the screen the whole lap. That driver is on the utter limit. Inch-perfect inputs and corrections, and the fact that they managed to clock a 7.44 after missing 5th at 3:24 and that huge code brown moment at 4:18 just shows how talented they are. I had to replay 1:47 several times - opposite lock through the foxhole at nearly 250km/h??!! Madness. What a lap!!!

He could of shaved a good 4 secs easily I have watched 4 times and seen hun limit his track usage not using curbs the code brown moment and he definitely slowed it down after that missing 5th gear and his line was almost on point very impressive driving though congrats to Honda for retaking the fastest ff car as they are the best in my opinion for that platform
The superimposed map of weight transfer shows how good the car performs. Under initial braking the weight is transferred to the front wheels quickly and solidly but more importantly, when he begins to trail brake and put in steering lock at turn in, diagonal weight transfer is great. The outside rear gets weight that is equal to the outside front heading toward the apex, meaning the car is rotating and the driver can hold a consistent lock. The car looks really fun. Even someone like me, not a race driver outside of sim racing, could seemingly drive this car at lower speeds, be challenged a bit, get a thrill and enjoyment without having to worry about being dangerous to anyone around me. I may have to convince the wife to let me buy one of these!
Now imagine that folks who never drove this car, let alone that fast, will come up with all kind of aftermarket parts to "improve" it 🤡
This Display would drive me mad! Absolutely annoying! I would switch the Display off!😜
Just let your wife try driving the Type R. After that, she might let you drive it on occasion :)
Forget asking the wife just buy it
@4:18 hahah mega. The whole lap is intense. The balance is amazing. Flat through the foxhole. Love it. In a re-watch I've decided this is one of the most fully committed laps I've ever seen. He even got half thrown out of carousel mid way through.
Honda Forever!! 🇯🇵🏁
Wow he is really throwing it into these corners, and the correction at 4:18 is lightning quick my god
When I saw it I literally said "oh my God."
@@barsaf9989 same here
And with pedal still to the floor.
@@silv3rArrow YEAH RIGHT, BALLSY
Underwear change please!
Almost loses it after the 4min mark 😳 but got it right back 🔥
Yeah that was a close call
4:19 🤯
he said: NOPE ! i got an impressive lap going
That's quite a bit more boost there over a stock car...and quite a short 6th gear as well 👀
Def boosted above stock
7:34 heading into that turn at 150MPH shows how incredible this car really is.
Wow! Bravo Honda. Bravo. Also mad props to that driver. Honda is breaking records with each new release of the Type R. That is how you get some serious cred and that is how you sell cars to enthusiasts.
.6 of a second from the previous record at 20 kilometers is within margin of error tbh. Like Renault could take that same record setting megane RS and do a slightly better lap and it would beat that honda.
@Jay exactly becouse of the reason i started. It means nothing for the car.
Except they wont sell you this car, which is heavily modified and has a totally different suspension setup from what you'll get. Honda is cheating generation after generation.
@Jay They don't have to. Everyone knows the Megane is a superior car, and that Honda cheats by using non-stock cars for setting records. Look how oversteery this car is, how sharp the front end is. The rear wants to step out every time he touches the steering wheel. That's a TOTAL opposite of how this car drives actually, I mean, stock. This is why no driver with a Type R ever gets anywhere near the lap times set by Honda, and Megane RS drivers regularly do so and go even faster.
Asombroso pilotaje, en el minuto 4,19 esa trasera pierde el agarre del asfalto y el piloto le mete un hachazo al volante para enfilar el coche en su trazada. Hay grandes coches, pero las manos , son las artesanas de todos los hechos
He's using the car and the track to its very limits. Amazing drive!
Shorter 6th and more boost, impressive driving still!
If they were willing to do that then who knows what else also?
@@Blas4ublasphemy the platform is good enough, that's probably all they did
@@RChero1010 Impressive driving for sure - sometimes a smidge over the top - however I am quite positive, that they added an additional or beefier oil cooler. Stock Type R can be seen in other videos running higher Oil Temps and dropping oil pressure, with less intense driving - whereas this one with more boost and 10/10ths driving is cooler.
Wow! 😳That driver needs more credit... Fair play, proper mega driving there! 👏🏻 Well done Honda, another great car!
His name is Nestor Girolami, from Argentina, actually official driver of the Honda's WTCR team.
The confidence which the driver has in his skills and in his car is insane. I do not even dare to attack the section from 4:07 to 4:20 like this in video games!
His name is Néstor Girolami, 33 years old, Argentinian. WTCR/TCR Honda Pro Driver.
Misha Charoudin just posted a video explaining how Honda might have cheated on this time. The driver hits 6th gear 4 times (and almost red lines 6th gear) on this lap, which is something a stock FL5 could not do. Honda may have turned up the boost or changed the gearing. Somethings not right here. Im a HUGE fan of Honda but this is quite a letdown if this is all true. They need to address this...
what insane driving! holy wow that was beautiful to watch and some parts got my heart beating cause it looked like the driver might have lost it but cool, calm & collected at those high speeds! insane to witness, can't wait for the Type S see if those additional 5 horses are just for show
I've shown this to a pro race driver who recently taught me how to drive my 2023 civic type R fast and he said this driver is a master at trail braking He uses trail braking to negate understeer and also delays going from brake to the gas by 10ths of a second to create a hint of oversteer. This then straightens the exit of the corner. this guy is a brilliant driver.
Néstor Girolami.
Thanks
Why doesn`t he use leftfoot braking?
@@trebrettrebret79 He has to clutch!
@@TassieLorenzo there are plenty of corners without downshifting. You can watch Misha Charoudin who uses leftfoot braking when he drives manual youtube.com/@mgcharoudin
This car has different gearing than the stock is making more boost.
4:19 the reflex is just insane! What a driver! 😮
I can smell that clutch from here. Nice lap.
4:18 I almost cried - incredibe lap! Most corner entries where just pure neutral steer with insane confidence. Unreal.
Man that 5th to 6th gear is unreal. No lag or build up what so ever. I want one
6th gear is only available as an overdrive gear. They made it a power gear for this run to chase the #s.
Was it me or do you hear grinds? I heard quite a few...
Stunning Company. Stunning Car. Stunning People behind. 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
That was awesome! Killer driving.
Amazing driving! Fl5 is fwd track weapon. So planted. Shifts throw short and precise and response seems excellent.
Absolut toll gefahren!👍 Aber auch die Aufbereitung des Videos ist ein Traum! Die verschiedenen Kameraperspektiven sind der absolute Hammer! Dieses Video ist total tolln Habe soeben den Kanal abonniert! 👍😎🇦🇹
1,8 BAR ?????
This is truely an outstanding lap 😮 he gives everything. WHAT A DRIVE!! And what to say of the car!! She seems on rail. Incredible work from all the Honda team. Once again, you produce a legend!!
what a beast ! both driver and Cars perform a brillant record !
Insane driving! I rarely ever watch full laps like this but this was pure driving perfection! Also side note, bravo on using a proper filming team to setup the cameras correctly. The motion blur and exposure was perfect, unlike most laps like this. That paired with the driving made this bliss to watch!
Perfection? He's an amazing driver but there's plenty of mistakes and overdriving here. Perfection's definitely not the right word.
@@B__L ok. Go you to drive and bet this Time and put the video in this link. Thanks
@@guidinjavier Did I say I could? I’m just saying it’s not perfection like the first comment said.
Owners of 2023 civic type-r found something is different in this video. This "record lap" civic run higher boost and 6th gear shorter than stock type-r.
Despite the regular understeer it is impressive how composed the car is at the limit. No odd snaps as Tsuchiya says at the 9/10ths limit
car and driver looked great on there, great job Honda, thanks for making such a great car.
I hope you get an FL5 to follow on from your FK8 content. I'm guessing there are more cars and coffee in Florida?
Gatosquad
Low key upset the driver didn't heel toe. That just shows how good the rev matching is. I guess you'd want to minimize mistakes for a record run. Amazing car, I'm glad Honda made it. I just wish I could afford it and get it straight from Honda instead of getting dealership markups.
The auto rev match must be perfect. His reasoning was "why make a mistake?".
Heel Toe comes more down to driver performance and less to car performance. This is marked as Lap Record for Honda Civic Type R, which is a car lol.
Auto rev matching make you focused more for driving. Hence you can brake smoother
Nah i think they're showcasing how good their rev-match system is. Professional drivers would rather turn it off, i bet he had to get used to driving with it on first because it's confusing.
@@marcelk7962 They aren't showcasing anything. AUTO rev matching these days is faster than what any driver can accomplish.
Something is funny about that 6th gear being so short compared to stock...
Now post the video without the g force screen obscuring the telemetry.
don't need to look at the screen to see what they are trying to hide, when its in 5th and 6th the boost is 1.70+ Bar vs the stock 1.26 bar.. so if that g-force screen wasn't there they would be ousted as cheats right away
The Type-R strikes again 😎
I wait for renault to strikes...soon😅
@@fourtry Well, Renaultsport is now Alpine.
Finally after almost a year waiting this Green Hell time attack lap... Kudoss FL5R🔥🔥
Incredible driving!!! But can't help but suspect faul play here from Honda's side to try beat the Megane.
They have too resort to "cheating" to beat a renault from 2016 lol
the most impressive is the clutch that managed to handle his foot steping on it the whole race..
Aaah man I enjoyed every single minute and second of this. Thanks for sharing. My most favourite track to drive in Assetto Corsa in VR.
I wish we had more FWD roadcars in Assetto Corsa, love driving the ring in VR too
@@x3mbr Agreed. We need more FWD cars. 👍🏻
🎉 Congratulations Honda! 🎉 Back on the Top Baby!
4:18 🫣 Great lap, lovely to see the car rotate even if at times it was pogoing I assume due to the higher grip on the rear tires.
Thrilling video! Congratulations Honda! Thanks for sharing.
Keep pushing, go Honda
More boost plus shorter gear ratio? Come on now…..
He goes to full throttle so far before the apex. Amazing driving display. He seemed prepared to crash to get the best possible time.
brilliant lap and deeply impressive chassis. This car just made my list!
Good luck getting one in this spec....
Amazing lap🎉👏🙌!
This is amazing. Honda, I am so proud of you and your team. Thank you for always helping our dreams come true ♥️
😵 might not be stock
@@mattyp3119 yep, more boost and shorter gears
Cheated
Does he know?
FYI, when I saw this video when it first came out, I knew the car was highly modified.
What about the claims of increased boost and amended gear ratio?
Outstanding drive and great recovery at 4:18 👏👏
Bebu girolami driver
Congrats! Amazing car, Amazing lap!!
Amazing driving - now I have no excuses to not be first on track day haha
uhh why is 6th gear shorter than my mates civic type-r?
Honda's masterpiece
The fact that at 4:20 the steering wheel was a half turn left, and the driver was able to correct in a millisecond to correct the vehicle from going into the barrier is just insane 🤯
Agree. Why was so much correction needed here? Car walks onto the curbing, then he catches a yaw in the opposite direction by steering *toward* the curbing. Anyone have a good explanation?
@@CheaperEngineer Grass
@@CheaperEngineer That curbing was added just recently because there were many crashes on that spot (going wide on the grass). I think he was prepared to touch the grass, which would have rotated the car to the right, hence the aggressive left countersteering
発表10日後にTypeR予約して納車待ちです。2024年の3月以降に納車予定です。 現在、受注停止中で買えるか買えないか分からなくなってしまいました。 自分ではこんな運転は絶対無理だけど、ニュル世界最速のFF車のオーナーになれるなんて夢みたいです。 年齢的に終いの車だと思います、大事にします。 ホンダさんありがとう‼️
Really short gear ratio from 5th to 6th gear… at 1:14 gear indicator lights are already lit? Shorter gear ratio I see. Don’t think it’s a stock Honda type R, I’ve watched other videos of the Honda on auto barn and other race tracks and the Honda seems to have longer gear ratios from 5th to 6th. Impressively good driving though.
why does it have more boost and different gear ratios than the production car?
the gearing seems just on point! love the 5th and 6th ratios
Because its not factory gearing. It has a at the very least a much shorter 6th than factory cars
@@ThunderGoatz also been proved they were running higher boost in 5th and 6th compared to other factory civic type rs that have been round the track peaking at about 21psi whereas here they are hitting 27psi in 5th
That is because Honda cheated and needed to fit shorter gearing and also remap the ECU to take the record
@JmyT16 not only Honda do that, but it's true
@@gt-rgaming9452 People said the SVJ cheated but provided no proof because there was none. Honda here on the other hand.....
At 4:20....dear lord! Amazing driving!! Very well balanced car...amazing work by Honda. ;)
the cars fast for sure but the driver is on point in every apex. hitting all the lines, def in a zone!
WHY Honda shorted the gear ? I think 4th, 5th and sure 6th. Hitting only 250kph very hard.
Well. ‘cough cough’ That 5th and 6th gear seem different from “stock”
Agreed, also wondering what tires they’re using
Insane driving
Bebu girolami drive
I need a 10 hour loop of this to sleep So relaxing
the way he slides the rear into turn one is glorious
That's some Amazing driving there. I've would've been in the walls. 😅Congratulations!!!!
Had a DC2R back in the day, hard to imagine how far the Type-R has gone.
Pilotagem no limite, demonstrando a capacidade do piloto e carro. Salvou bonito em 4:11 , parabéns HONDA! Driving on the limit, demonstrating the ability of the driver and the car. Saved beautiful in 4:11, congratulations HONDA!
Thank you, Honda for making my birthday extra special🫡
Wow 😮 epic run.
This is insane. 🔥🔥🔥
The driver is insane 🔥
I am sure Soichiro is so proud for your hard work guys...what a car 🤯 bravo HONDA 👏
As a Megane Trophy owner, that is damn impressive. nothing was left on the table.
Multiple times in the wrong gear and a few big mistakes from overdriving. There was definitely more time left.
@@B__L not really, those times where he could've taken the corners on 3rd gear instead of 4th would prob just make him lose more time shifting again. he was never really in low RPM range
@@LuizHartkopf There's multple times when he was in too low of a gear and wasted time shifting. Not to mention the big mistakes at klostertal and the karrousel
@@B__L Jump in the car and do better then mate
@@SeBoSTV When did I say I could do better?
Congratulations 🇯🇵. Proud FL5 owner here.
seems fk8 driver for 2017 record did not use auto-rev match, but fl5 driver used auto-rev match
looks like this one have more boost than mine ? 🤔
Honda Claiming the record with a Modified Civic. It's like VW going to revo, tuning it and changing the gearbox, oil cooler etc and claiming the "PRODUCTION CAR RECORD" Shame Honda SHAME
If you're not cheating you're not trying
@@JDM_FD hahaha
@@JDM_FD spotted the cheating Honda fanboy
❤ power of dreams ❤ backed by hard work ❤
Машина и гонщик достойны уважения. Браво Хонда!
Honda, well done for setting the record lap on that iconic track, but not doing you justice that you never mention the pilot who drove the car in that thrilling manner.
WOW Brilliant vid and big congratulations to Honda on the record, gotta watch that a few times...
A few comments flying around the internet about 6th gear being shorter on this car. Hope not.....Also people think the boost may have be turned up for this application - @ 3:44 it reaches 1.83bar. I think that's kind of of grasping straws because the stats say the car runs at 25.2psi which is just over 1.73bar. However, when we factor in it beats the Megane Trophy R by the narrowest of margins, any advantage from the actual production vehicle needs to be taken into consideration. In Hondas, defence, its manufacturing far more than 500 cars so this task of becoming fastest FWD was always going difficult to extremely difficult. I hope its all been done "lawfully" though.....if there is such a thing in the motorsport industry.
" The Civic they used didn’t have airbags, an AC, or electric mirrors. It also had a wider body, higher boost, different gearing, and the oil cooler out of Honda’s Formula One car. Autocar is reporting the Type R used had 385 horsepower. Nissan tested a stock Type R on the Nurburgring three weeks ago and got a time of 7:47. Porsche did the same thing and got 7:46." this is everything that they are accused of
I can’t believe he was standing the whole time!! Standing on either the brakes or the gas that is!!! At and somewhat beyond the envelope at all times!! Fantastic!
Well done my great-great great grandson from a old type R owner. Great driving great handling car, I'm proud of you 👏
proof that you don't need fancy footwork to be fast
Not surprised to see you here Dan, you legend! Got myself a dc2 so can’t wait for more dc2 content from you 😉
and auto rev matching on downshifts
Is this a special edition with more boost and different ratios ?
It must be 😂
This car seems glued to the road!
😮 @ 4:18...my eyes were glued. I was scared for ya, but you stuck the landing like a boss. 👏 BRAVO
that was so close but he corrected it so well
Sabine Schmitz still holds the record for fastest lap with these new series of type R R.I.P
Unfortunately she wasn’t able to verify this in person late last year
