Watch A Stock Engine Honda S2000 Clock A 7min 59sec 'Ring Lap
The brilliantly bonkers guys behind the 'Ring Banana' MX-5 have put it another stunning lap time
Last time we checked out a video from ‘One Lap Heroes’ - the guys behind the famous ‘Ring Banana’ MX-5 - it involved spanking a Honda S2000 around Spa Francorchamps. Now, the S2000 is back at the ‘Ring, belting out a ludicrous 7min 59.8sec lap. Not bad for a car with a stock engine.
Away from the engine bay, there have been quite a few changes, including new coilovers, a lightened flywheel, a socking great rear spoiler, and - perhaps most importantly - track-friendly Kumho V70A tyres.
Combine all that and much more besides with a handy driver, and the results are spectacular.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

One of the muscle fanboys downvoted my comment
I’m still amazed how Honda could built such an awesome engine as the F20/22, almost engineered to perfection
Part of the reason why I believe that if Honda were to relaunch s2k today it would still be relevant
This car was so ahead of its time
Proves that power isn’t everything
YYYAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REPRESENT!
