Honda Civic Type R (FL5) TCR Race Car testing on track: Accelerations, Fly Bys & Sound!

After more than a year since its official unveil, here's finally a video of mine fully focused on the Civic Type-R FL5-generation touring car. As for the previous versions, the FL5 TCR has been built and developed by the Italian company JAS Motorsport, improving on various aspects the already excellent 'FK'. The engine is still the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder derived from the production version and it's able to produce around 340 hp and 420 Nm torque (based on the BoP adjustments). It's linked to a SADEV ST90-17 6-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifters.
Watch and hear the two Civics of ALM Motorsport and the MM Motorsport one in action at Misano World Circuit during a collective test by Kateyama!

As a Type R owner, it’s cool to see the racing version of my car!

I like the production version of the cars, but the racing versions are the ones I like the most.

wow you have a FL5? that's amazing! I know it's not the same but I've gotten a FN2 recently. also a great car

i’m a simple man. i see type r in a racetrack i hit like.

[@Metalot29]

It is a super nice car and the sound!

​@@Metalot29the looks kinda reminded me to 1996 Castrol Toms Supra.

[@RHBTurbochargers]

[@purwantiallan5089]

Definitely. It also held a Formula E Season 10 race lately.

as a Honda Driver for over 20 Years big thanks - nice one 👍

[@AoiGP]

that CTR is woosh~! fast. I love it. thank you for your videos.

[@purwantiallan5089]

The 2024 Civic Type R TCR looked amazing indeed! Lets see what this car can do for 2024 FIA KUMHO TYRES TCR WORLD TOUR.😊

[@koraxi8958]

As I watch this new tcr car, cant help but think about what james Kaye said in an interveiw regarding gen 1 tcr cars ['17 - 2018 models] vs gen 2 tcr's. Gen 1 cars are largely uncompetitive against gen 2 , but whats more is gen 2 now consists of mroe bespoke parts which make them very expensive to run. Apparently we are talking about 911 carrera cup to GT3 R kind of money. Thats kinda ridiculous. This in some regards has made gen 2 cars very unpopular. Infact if any are interested in motorsport politics and want to know what I'm talking about go watch the interveiw "peaks and troughs" with James Kaye at the 24hour series event it's very insightful to whats going on behind the scenes

[@areyouabusta1996]

it can be done.

[@hexgraphica]

No please don't

On my 5th Honda since 87. Currently 89 CRX base with a D16a6. Just under 2000 lbs, slight mods. Fun little car, unmolested except suspension.

Setup on the car was verry good i see 👌

Looked forward to see the Civic competing in SUPER GT this year.

[@motorafondo87]

The racing version even more amazing than the street one and that's saying, it sounds good for a four-cylinder.

[@dudeisnotcoolio]

curious how they are keeping oil temps down since even the aftermarket oil coolers for FL5 aren't proving to be all that effective

[@willyjimmy8881]

For anyone who doesn't know this is also Honda's car for JGTC starting this year. A little hard to wrap my head around, but ok, let's see what it can do.

[@parpaing_1]

My favorite looking tcr will forever be the golf gti.

[@youcangetsum6871]

Wonder if it’ll be faster than Elantra N they’ve been doing really well would like to see them go head to head.

Now if they could only get some of their old sound back. Sadly it’s strangled by the 🐌

[@absfinal]

is the rear bumper missing?

[@maisondav1d]

Can you get the body kit?

[@nadaesperavel]

The engine in that sound like Nissan's SR20. Makes sense since they are both 4 cylinder 2.0 turbo engines

[@liamsmithrowe]

Looks like a game

[@JimmyDShea]

Yeah it’s getting hard to tell the difference these days

[@BuntaTesla]

what type of hood is that?

[@Lochness147]

normalito un k20 con cuerpos eso si que suena bien

[@auntech2174]

hope 1 day type R will use DCT

[@apex_predator9401]

I want that body kit

[@georgemode3694]

the factory turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 engine is said to be fully race-prepped, not stock, that motor puts out 340HP, and the car is gutted, I cannot find the Weight or the Curb Weight for this car just the motor's power, but most likely this the car's weight is 450 pounds to 485 pounds lighter that stock, it has a lot of carbon fiber parts on it.

[@parpaing_1]

Yeah and there are bucket seat, no rear seat, i believe almost the whole body is in fiberglass etc

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

Honda says that it's "race-refined," which probably means that the emissions controls were removed and it was given a light tune. 340 hp is barely more than it makes stock.

[@DonkeyEvo]

Minimum weight without fuel or driver I'd 2877 for IMSA competition, you can assume they'd meet minimum.

[@kiper753]

Ten samochód wygląda dobrze tylko do połowy.A dźwięku nie ma co komentować,te samochody brzmią fatalnie,to jest katastrofa.Jestem kibicem wyścigów samochodowych od ponad 35lat i jestem załamany tym co słyszę.

A Sadev ST90-17 6-speed sequential gearbox

A 4 door Type R... sad times.

[@Domi39]

Building the exhaust headers into the block is the worst thing they've ever done for modern engines. This thing sounds awful. Same with the 1.5L Turbo in the Si. No matter what you do the exhaust will always sounds like a fart can because you have super restrictive unequal length log headers built into the block.

[@ryancuda45]

lol honda fwd is rubbish mid apex, 500 hp and awd would be at least half way decent.
