2023 Honda Civic Type R Record Lap of Nürburgring Nordschleife

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)

[@ObserverDingue]

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!

[@JacobMueller]

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.

[@Chocofur]

@@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.

[@derbigpr500]

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.

[@deehipkiss7089]

Man's a driver

[@scottgardner5918]

​​​@@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.

That's quite a bit more boost there over a stock car...and quite a short 6th gear as well 👀

[@Beanie-Sandals]

Def boosted above stock

[@JonesyTerp1]

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!

[@Xsidon]

.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.

[@Xsidon]

@Jay exactly becouse of the reason i started. It means nothing for the car.

[@derbigpr500]

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.

[@derbigpr500]

@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.

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...

[@edjohnson9774]

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.

[@niklaspetersen4936]

nah mate its totally accidental we did absolutly NOT put it there to cover the higher boost pressure ..... ;)

[@Xchax3]

I don't understand the animosity of some in the comment section. And here's why: For reference, the record set before this one was by the "Renault Megane RS Trophy R" and no one cared when that one “wasn’t stock” and released in limited numbers (about 500) for homologation purposes. Basically to say: "We released this version to the public, so the record stands". Meanwhile, Honda comes out with this Civic Type R “S” (also releases it in limited quantities to the public) and everyone calls it cheating… As far as I’m concerned, Renault started with the “not stock” record. And making this version the stock Type R (as in: the one sold as the ONLY Civic Type R available) would be too bare bones for most buyers to bare with no comfort for the normal road. As it is a race car version with many items/functions of comfort stripped and a different gearing that is not suitable for street driving. So this car broke the record. Renault beat the FK8 Civic Type R's record with their "not stock" car and then were beat by Honda again with this FL5.

​@@institorisinstitoris959This car has an automatic heel toe shifting but is even necesary if not? Depends on the car but on the driver too... Is not obligatory, I would say (but old cars with rear traction is better to use it). When you control the clutch and don't force so much the downshifts, is good enough. The left brake isn't neccesary at all! Some pilots use it cause is an habit for them and it's supposed you are faster with this method and smoother too. In real life is not really necessary. So some pilots use it and others don't and the differences in lap times are often zero

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
