Sebring is about 2.5 hours from IPGparts headquarters. It is what I consider our home track. We have turned thousands of laps at the place at this point in all sorts of cars. Over the last 6 months we had the chance to run both a stock ('ish) 1998 Acura Integra Type R and our race prepped 2001 Acura Integra Type R. The lap time delta is nothing short of astonishing.  Your gut is always going to tell you how and why the lap time would be considerably different but to actual see the black and white data of it...

Solid day at Sebring on March 27th, 2026 with Chin Track Days. We are on a good streak with the Integra Type R just being awesome on track. It’s fun to drive, fast and safe. Ran a new personal best in the ITR of 2:31.2 and rained down 2:31-2:32 lap times all day long. Learned some things on the new RE71rz tire.

This was originally believed to be related...

Solid weekend at Barber Motorsports Park. Ran with Jzilla Track Days , this is only my 2nd event with them but their commitment to their events shows and makes them a joy to be at. The grounds and track at Barber are incredible. This being only my 3rd time at the track makes it tough to be quick but this is easily one of my favorite tracks I have run. Wasn't happy with my driving on Saturday but redeemed myself on Sunday and left feeling content and wanting more. The #IntegraTypeR ran great all weekend. And thanks to everyone that...
