He also had another quote that I have not read in 20yrs so I will have to paraphrase. Throughout history Man's greatest innovations came during times of War. When we race we go to War every weekend.
Is this a hint of what is coming down the production line next.

I plan on watching this many times. :) What a beautiful restoration. As original owner of a 2000 ITR these cars mean a whole lot. The philosophy of the 'R' means a lot as a Honda enthusiast. When RTR took these racing I tuned in to Speedvision/Speed Channel to watch what I considered stock car racing at its best ;)
Absolutely love my s2000 and will keep it until the day I die! I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to buy a modern car with the soul this car has, much like the ITR! Bring back cars with soul!

I'm with you on this John P. I own a 2000 Acura integra ls, even though I don't have the legendary TYPE R I still have heavily modified my ls as much as any one could, b20 built bottom end 12:8.1 compression, Brian Crower head, valves, valve springs, retainers, cams, cam gears, ported ls head. What I'm saying is, even though I don't have a actually TYPE R, I most certainly have the soul of one. Thanks for all the Honda love, and keep taking highway on ramps at 75mph doing 9000rpm in third gear 😋🤗😎😎
Everyone's on craigslist looking for type r's now.

Bring back real car names! One of the biggest failures Acura has done is get rid of great car names, like Integra, Legend, and Vigor.

Just like old times eh PD?? Love this. Real-time and PD’s team is why I bought my ITR. I always wish I never sold it.
I love Honda's heritage and Integra type r has always been my favorite
Beautiful video, makes yah proud to be a Honda enthusiast 😎 the dc2 is such a special machine . I’ve owned 5 jdm models over the years and loved them all. Only sold up to finally buy my dream Honda. Fd2 civic typeR. Anyways, great video folks.
This just made my Covid 19 Friday! Seeing Peter Cunninghams name on the Type R and NSX again....so great. And a really nice guy on top of it!
This brought back so much nostalgia. I remember being glued to the TV watching this thing race on SpeedVision when I was a kid.
Still remember recording on VHS tapes this car and all touring car races of this generation.
I loved that era...Honda's golden era. I loved watching the Real time ITR race at Mosport!
Nice job Peter, RTR did a great job on the car and the video editing, beautifully done.
Michal Galati and pierre kleinubing were unbeatable

Congrats on the successful resurrection of an awesome car. It's been fun to watch the build progress on social media and is great timing with RealTime's recent successes as well!
BRING HER BACK!!! 2021 TYPE R YES PLEASE!!!! I know I'd buy one.
I had a 1997 ITR and really enjoyed it. It was ahead of its time and an incredible package from the factory. So nice to see its spirit lives on and is a dominant force.
great video! thanks!
Awesome! Brings me back to the days watching the race series on SpeedTV(Speed Vision)!...Great Job!
Great memories. Have pics of the team cars at Texas Motor Speedway. Too bad Speedvison was bought out what a fantastic showcase for road racing that was. Thanks for the upload.
As soon as I knew Cunningham was behind the wheel I was SCREAMING!! Thank you Acura for looking at the past; the best thing you can do for reference as you progress.
Love to see old race cars brought back to life! I remember this type R
Acura/Honda do you see the prices people are paying for DC2 Type R’s now? That’s because there’s a hole. A hole YOU can fill. Bring back the high revving hot hatch. Don’t live in the past with this, make it your future. Make it a high revving proper sports car just like it used to be. Save the MPG’s and CAFE concerns for your cash cows, and make a proper sports car that shows you care for the enthusiasts. High revvinf, manual transmission. Do it to show you still care about making a car that makes you feel something when you drive it.

Wisconsin-Built Realtime Integra Type-R dominating Wisconsin's own Road America! I loved watching Speedvision's touring series so much I bought a brand new 0 mile '01 spec Integra Type-R engine(B18c5) from Wisconsin's King Motorsports for my '92 Integra GSR. Used a Mugen Gymkhana-spec 4-2-1 exhaust manifold to clear the front crossmember of the DB2 chassis. Power steering and air conditioning were removed for more power and weight reduction/better handling.
I love the integra type r, such a legendary car!
It was awesome to see the driver putting the teggy through its paces and smoking some of those other cars for the win! FWD all day baby!

I still remember the day I got to PDI the first 97 Integra Type R we got at the dealership. I took pictures of it then did the PDI. The customer did not want the A/C installed but did purchase the kit if he decided to want it later. Pretty special car. Left the dealership/brand in 2014 as Acura had seemed to lost its way with its product.
Please bring back the integra's.
Sooo glad to own an Integra 😎 B20B Vtec GSR Transmisson cool little two step. Love the Honda/Acura integra!
Really enjoyed this. Bring back the 04 tsx !
Those were the days, RTR winning the World Challenge with the Type R's. PD Cunningham and Pierre Kleinubiing. Look up the race at Mosport when Kleinubing went off track and then recovered incredibly.
We want another Integra! It has the biggest following out of any of your vehicles ever made besides the NSX! Bring us back the Teg and Teg Type R like you did with the NSX.
I bought a 1990 integra ls for my first car back in 2005. Owned a 1996 ls and 1995 gsr also. I love these cars and I don't use the word love lightly.
Glorious! I have always enjoyed the howling red line, lightweight and exceptional engineering with simple execution.

Respect to all the Honda owners for keeping it real with the B16,18,20 engines and the K series in the proper DC,FD chassis. Love all of you.
WOw it came back to life !!!!! that is amazing !! and again. make me appreciate my integra type r even more. and i can't believe they kept the B18c5 in it still .. i would thought they would go k series .. i see that alot of you guys sold your itr's.. what in the world were you thinking?? unless you are the guy who just sold one for 84000 usd.. than bravo to you
OMG 😳 she is BACK BABY !!!!!
I had a type r when I was 17 years old in high school in 2004 fun car to drive and race mine was a 2001 model black #0046, It got stolen in Dallas, TX only the shell was recovered and sold it to a friend who still has it

I should elaborate, ideally FWD like the original Integra was, but I said AWD for a few reasons 1. in some dumb blind hope that no one at Acura had thought about bringing back the Integra name, and Sparks the remake of the platform (p.s. if you work at Acura and this happens and you want to give me a free new Integra type r, I wouldn't complain) 2. Honda already has the Civic type R. And the Integra was killed off because it was taking sells from the civic sales. So it would have to be a car in a different class 3. Acura already has and loves to showcase there super handling AWD system. So if Acura brought back the Integra, offered a LS model with the 1.6T, GSR with the k20c1, and later offer a Type R model with a hyped up version with a similar set up as the current NSX's hybrid system, adding a 20-50 HP bump to the rear wheels (as the Integra Type R always has had more power them the Civic Type R counterpart). All models have the SH-AWD system. Offering the LS and GSR in stick or auto(auto so they actually sell enough cars to make money) and they Type R model as stick only. Now there's a new car on the market to compleat with the STI, fill the spot the focus RS is leaving, and people would actually buy them

Honestly I see where you're coming from, but Acura (Not so much Honda anymore) is really stepping their game up compared to other brands. The new NSX isn't much like the original so the name doesn't fit, but nonetheless it's a seriously sick and innovative supercar for a relatively cheap price tag compared to its competition, and the new Type S (even if it's still a concept at the moment) is definitely tight compared to pretty much every other Japanese 4 door on the market today (Save for maybe Mazda's lineup.) Just be glad they haven't electrified their lineup.
