There a 995cc Honda (Impact?) entered in SpeedWeek this year in I/GT. The Japanese probably didn't study up in Subway Sandwich construction, either.

Interesting to see a number of cars in this class. Back in 08 I was commissioned to work with a guy building a 998 cosworth powered Ginetta. I wasn't the fabricator, or body guy, but the "brains" to make the car safe, and within the rules, as well as perform. The return "work" was to be the 3d design of the liner body.
spent 9 months working with him every day and doing way more fabricating, plumbing, etc, than I planned, and some engine work when he changed his mind about a few things, but the car was finished. Looked beautiful, and ran really well. In testing it went 124MPH in the mile and I was finally done with my task.
He showed up at Bonneville I think at WF, got thru tech with no issues, and in his first run shifted from 2nd to 1st gear at red line thereby destroying his historic Cosworth motor.
Actually it is poetic justice, as he never paid me for the work.....he proved to be like most body design stylists, arrogant, and thought he knew more than everyone else. like his sh1t didn't stink.
If he has fixed it, it could be a really good competitor.
