- Driving aids and transmission mode are open.
- Standard OLR cleanliness rules apply: Two wheels must be in contact with the track at all times; rumble strips are part of the track (as are light green rumble strip extensions and tarmac beyond white lines; the runoff outside 130R, however, is not); no contact with walls allowed at any time.

Series Information and General Rules
- All six races will be run in Arcade Mode and each will last one week, with a submission deadline of Tuesday at 11:59 PM GMT.
- The cars used will be a variety of Hondas, mostly road cars on standard (N) tires, but with race cars appearing as well. Make sure you have all Hondas, used and new, unlocked in Arcade Mode, because few of the cars I will use are available from the beginning.
- Standard OLR cleanliness rules apply: Two wheels must be in contact with the track at all times; rumble strips are part of the track; no contact with walls allowed at any time.
- Discussion of times in the race thread during the week will be limited to split times (T1, T2, etc.). Final times are not to be discussed and must be submitted to me by PM before the week's deadline.
- Please save your best lap replay just in case I request proof, which is unlikely but possible. Generally, no proof will be necessary for the winner or for anyone else; however, I reserve the right to request a photo of a time if I am suspicious of it.
- Each race will award points towards the overall championship standings to all who submit a clean lap/race time, with the winner receiving 10 points, second place 8, third place 6, and fourth on down each separated by 1 point (5, 4, 3, etc.). No points will be awarded to a non-submitting driver. You do not have to announce your participation in the championship beforehand: anyone may participate in a race and be counted into the championship points, even if you do not plan on running all the races; similarly, there is no obligation to participate in every race. The driver with the most points at the end of the six races will win the championship.
Imagine you are a tester for Honda at the end of the 1980s. Your company has just produced a machine with such perfect handling that it can rival supercars with far more power. Your assignment is to set the fastest time you can using the new NSX on street tires at the fabled Suzuka Circuit. Your driving style will have to adapt to the fine-tuned suspension and MR chassis, but you should be able to use those attributes to your advantage with practice. That said, this is a deceptively complex combo, and doing the fastest lap possible is, simply put, damn hard. Have fun!

Still, I ran off turn 1 into the sand on my first lap! 
I have a feeling I submitted a horrible time but I did save time on the final sector.
