I was reading back through some really old postings on a historic F1 forum the other night (well Iam married an over 40) and amongst the many mentions the NSX got was one, posted in 2001, by a guy in Australia who said that Honda had actually presented Jack Brabham with a Brabham Edition NSX:cool: Could that be so ??? Maybe it had a BBQ version engine cover???
Just seen these on the Brabham NSX history:

Nice find and always enjoy reading about the NSX.

Strange the way they say he's in an ACURA NSX and its a RHD car with Honda Badge.

Jack Brabhams son and ex Simtek F1 driver David Brabham is currently running second with a Honda powered Acura ARX01B (twinked by Honda Performance Development in association with Wirth Engineering UK) in the American Le Mans Series and only 4 points adrift from the Penske Porsche team. Gil de Ferran (ex Honda F1 boss) and his team eventually aims to run the Honda power plant at Le Mans and they all deserve some praise and support that side of the pond while we (Honda) struggle this side in F1.
