Funny thing is that before test driving this beast, the drivers said that an awd system doesn't belong in touring car races. (At least according to Gran Turismo PSP). After driving it they were convinced that it would be unbeatable. And it proved to be such

it's a damn shame sports cars are junk and way over prized for said junk. oh, they can go fast for all of 5 minutes then need repaired. Honda did the opposite, they made a fast car that doesn't breakdown every 5 minutes.

The 1998 photo @9:51 actually shows the Mugen X Dome logos on the noses of all four cars (the white/black Mugen logo & the orange/black Dome logo just below the Honda emblems) just as you're saying Mugen and Dome split. I suspect that Mugen-Dome Project was not only the name of the on again/off again entrant (team), but that the Mugen-Dome Project was the name of the developer/constructor of the JGTC NSX GT as you explained @7:00. While the 1997 car has only the Dome logo on its nose, it appears that all JGTC NSX GTs regardless of team have Mugen X Dome logos on their noses from 1998 through 2002. From 2003-2009 they instead have the logo/wordmark of Honda Racing.

The real reason they won was because of circumstance? What a strange thing to say, so because mazda made a car that finishes and had a driver that was good enough has nothing to do with it? The won because one of the merc drivers messed up and the other merc broke down. We can then state that Senna is only a world champion F1 driver because of circumstance?

Little side note: It's true that there were around 720,000 vehicles produced in Belgium in 2008 (435,000 cars, 245,000 light trucks, and 40,000 trucks). But a lot of factories have closed in Belgium lately: Renault Vilvoorde in 1997, Opel Antwerp in 2010, Ford Genk in 2014, and most recently Van Hool (buses). The only ones left are Audi in Brussels, Toyota in Brussels, and a large Volvo plant in Ghent. :-(

Norman Dewis was not merely a test driver. He was a key member of Jaguar’s development team who strongly influenced, from concept to production, all of Jaguar’s sports cars from their golden age in the early 1950s to the mid-80s. At 130 mph, the XJ13 prototype he was guiding around a long sweeper experienced a broken rear wheel and the car instantly became uncontrollable. Miraculously, Dewis was uninjured. Describing his event as”tragic” is inappropriate because there was no loss of life.

Counter point: its not. Its a nice idea that racing is a test bed for future road car tech, and its certainly true that some road car innovations have their roots in motorsport (more so in the past), but that's not motorsport's purpose, and if it was, its extremely bad at it. All major racing series today employ strict regulation of the cars, some even going so far as to use BoP to keep racing close (WEC, Super GT etc). When a ground breaking idea is realised in this environment not only is it usually quickly banned, it probably had no use outside of motorsport anyway (DAS for example). All topflight modern motorsport is competitive entertainment made viable by advertising. Machines made to test the limits of our automotive technology exist, but they don't race against each other, they exist in test facilities. Racing isn't rational, but that doesn't mean it isn't subjectively valuable - and when a piece of racing tech very (very) occasionally does have everyday application, that should be celebrated.
