How to build the fastest front-wheel-drive car to lap Kentucky’s NCM Motorsports Park–a record set during our 2023 Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge?

For James Rauck, it all starts with the shell of a 1999 Honda Civic and a turbocharged K-Series engine.

I spent a good amount of time looking at this car while shooting the video and photos. I really hope we see it back at the UTCC next year to see how much faster it can go.

To quote an old friend of mine " the only wrong with Hondas is they're too damn fast".  That car is of that and  I'd love to drive it just once

This was one wild build. It's fairly simple in nature, but it is built to the extreme. Who says FWDs can't be fast?

In reply to J.A. Ackley :

Lol, anyone who keeps up with TT knows Will Au Yeung and James Houton AND knows FWD be fast.
