How does Spoon improve the 400HP FK8 Type R driving feel? Behind the scenes of parts Development & testing...
Join us as we go with Spoon Sports to a circuit test session to see exactly how parts are tested for the all-important setup and development of street parts for Honda sports models. In this video, we speak to Daisuke Jomoto the R&D manager of Spoon on the rationale behind their philosophy of tuning.
While car manufacturers use technology to improve handling dynamically, could it have also taken out the fun factor of driving experience in older models? The example here is the latest Civic Type R FK8 which uses electronically controlled dampers to inhibit body roll. While the tech works to make an overall better handling car, it also reduces the driver involvement which is one of the reasons why we drive sports cars in the first place.
Most major manufacturers employ the help of professional racing drivers to provide accurate feedback for development so that we as regular drivers can feel a more rounded and enjoyable drive.
