- We finally did it! The Supertouring EG Civic Ferio's first victory and the most meaningful of my racing career!
Sitting in grid, I knew I had a shot at victory lane. Minimal rewards weight, the hybridracing Supertouring Civic's setup was on point and I was starting 6th on the invert. I knew my main competitor would be Matt Waldbaum and boy did he prove me right lol! I had to be somewhat aggressive in the first few corners and a perfect opening just barely formed inside of turn 2. The OsGiken LSD just hooked up and pulled me ahead and within three corners, I gained three positions and proceeded to the lead shortly after. The rest of the race, Matt in the S2000 was on my ass and gave me zero breathing room. I had to drive fast, make zero mistakes, and be in the zone, that was until the caution came out.
As much as I wanted the race to end under caution, I also wanted to battle it out and not get a freebie, I'm a damn Racer! Green, white, checkered and what a lap it was. I made the decision to let Matt take a peak up the inside because holding the inside around turn 2 is more important and I'm glad it payed off. Austin Hertel then made my life a little easier battling with Matt and I drove off, at 9/10ths making sure not to bin it lol.
I've never been more ecstatic about taking a victory as much as this one in my life. Two damn years and we're finally back! It's been an incredible journey and I can't thank you guys enough for the love, support and kind words. I seriously can't do this without everyone who supports me, both on and off the track. This win is for my dad, love you pops! Now let's get some more baby!!! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
What's the best platform in GLTC? Zero people would answer: A tubbed out 30 year old Honda sedan. Love every minute of watching this car on track. Thanks for what you've brought to this series and racing in general.
Hahaha lmao, not the ideal build, but most badass? Heck yeah!
Best race of the year for me. I was on break talking smack out loud on every car the Civic passed. Co-workers thought I had too much coffee in the AM.
I had 2 of these in the 90’s! 🔥
Na Miata with an nb swap.
Actually a very simple answer, the EG/EH chassis is light, propends to the K series and has factory double wish bone suspenion front and rear...once the geometry is corrected following loweringz...there isnt much that can touch this chassis...I personally absolutely love my EG.
Congrats Bro You make every 5th gen Civic owner proud especially the sedan owners 👏🏽👏🏽🏎️
Haha glad to represent the EGs!
ek5 sedan(lxi) owner here. proud of you representing old hondas. ❤🎉
Your exit speed was amazing! Great race, Sir!
Yeah, she's a rocket out the corners!
Bro...Your gearbox ratio and final drive are very perfectly match with all out the engine rev match with max out the speed entry and exit. Congratulations 🎉...for the winning
Yeah, it was a perfect gear ratio setup for Gingerman
Dude, it's not often you see somone race who truly understands the nuances of racing. Well done.
Thanks man!
So clean, Brother! Every late 90s Honda Guys Dream Come True. Ridiculously sick build!
I appreciate it!
Gotta love when man and machine become one. Unreal speed, great race
That's the biggest rear view mirror I've ever seen 😱
Congrats on your win! I also came across your crash update video on your other channel so I know how much this win meant to you. You said you would get a win this year and you delivered. I trust this helped put your father's mind at ease.
Yeah I guess I did promise that! I didn't even remember that, that's awesome! Thanks for the support buddy!
90’s honda civic legendary!
This makes me proud of being an owner of a jdm civic eg8 because four doors civic of this era is underrated. 👍
Thanks man!
That’s gotta be the coolest safety car of all time
Absolutely! 💯
I remember watching this on the livestream, and even tho Matt made you work for it, he was just excited for your win after the race was over! :)
Yeah, it was a a fantastic battle for sure!
I’ve always loved the look of those JTCC civic sedans, now we basically get to see one compete.
And it's only going to get faster!
Great race footage. It’s exciting to watch racing on this level. It really shows when all the drivers are hungry for the podium.
Your exist speed was top notch plus you had the pace the entire race bro mega drive and mega defense 🙌🏽
Thanks buddy! Yeah the car was hoooooked up
The hud is so cool. I couldn't tell if i was watching a game or real life half the time. Amazing.
Glad you like it!
That last lap had my heart racing! Nice work!
Hahaha, yeah same for me in the moment too
Wow, I just found this video and this is SO DAMN COOL!!!
Haha thanks man!
What an awesome battle! Loved watching that!
Thanks!
This sim is insane
BIG W, ERIC!!! Great driving brother!!!!!!
Thanks 👍 Hopefully more to come!
Video quality and what I can only assume is image stabilization make this the crispest racing video I've ever seen. Made me think it was a videogame for a moment!
Zero video stabilization actually. That's directly off the go-pro, 4k 60 fps with hypersmooth turned off completely. It's all about the mount you use 😉
This was awesome. Congrats on the win!
amazing driver wow!
Awesome race. You were dancin' out there, well deserved win!
Great video and great drive. Really enjoyed it
Nice driving, that last pass, inside-out move on the s2k was awesome!
Hell yeahh brotha. Gratz.. so enjoy this journey you take use on. 👍😁
Great cornering speed
Beautiful 👌🏿
Honestly wanted to see the rest of that victory lap. Incredible build. Incredible race. Can't wait to see the next one.
Been watching you ever since I discovered your eg sedan build. I have mine as well with no intentions of turning it into a race car (yet? lol) but through you I can see the potential of the car. You're an inspiration to me and I wish you nothing but success my guy. Congrats on the Dub, cheers from the Philippines!
I appreciate that man, thank you 🙏
Nádhera! Krásná práce! To předjetí s2k bylo famózní, koukal jsem na to snad 5x :D
Přeju hodně dalších úspěchů!
Amazing W man. Well deserved! Amazing Machine Team Hybrid.
Straight up Beast Mode when you passed those guys!!!
Awesome job Congrats!!!!
Congratulations 🍾

Yeah, he was close!
Fire!!🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations from Czech republic!!
Dekuji!
Loved seeing it in person! Brave on the restart on the outside of one but setup great for two nice work!!!

This was very exciting to watch. The way you were patiently waiting for that window to pass up the 2 cars in front you.. wow. My heart was pounding so fast too lol congratulations sir!!
Haha thanks man!
With that hud this really looks like video game, also damn those downshift are so aggressive
Seen this coming once you crashed your other eg hatch the drive you had to get back in and these sedans run good the have the series in japan with these everybody sleeps on then but dont know there lighter then the coupe good racing love to see it
Love how you used acceleration to save the car 47secs into the video a true FF car technique 👏🏽🤜🏾🤛🏾🔰🏎️🇺🇸
When in doubt, throttle out!
the dude can drive!
Thanks man!
Congratulations ❤ this is an inspiration to me. I also aspire to build my civic one day to be a track car, and I can learn a lot from the way you drove yours
I appreciate that man!
Love it!!! Top drive Eric

Wow this was so amazing to watch. Your living the dream man. Idk what you call the pace car when you had to slow down for a bit that S2000 and 370Z were so ready to attack you lol but you gunned it and held them off. That was bad ass. I love your car and your a great racer!
Thanks buddy!
Nice dub bro
That S2K was putting the pressure on me 🤣
Oh yeah absolutely, he's fast!

I love your 4door civic, I have a 8th gen civic Si sedan and by watching your videos makes me want to do the same like you, Thank you for inspiring me. Your a Champion, 4door sport cars are the best cars.
Thanks so much man, I appreciate it! 4 doors for the win!
This was some straight-up bulldog, pin it to win it driving... I absolutely love the windshield defroster also, I didn't even realize that is what it was till mid video 😅. I follow you on ig, but didn't even think of watching your drives till it was a suggested video! Can't wait to watch more!
That's awesome! I'll be uploading a lot more to TH-cam!
Pekne si ich tam vyškolil. Dobrá práca 👍
Dekuji!
Great driving
These graphics are amazing
Man I would've gave that 350z the pit maneuver like "get out my way"! 😂
a murci as a pace car is sumn else
Прикольно :))) prikolno ❤
Fuck this is great man!. The camera angle IS PERFECT. I've learnt a lot by watching this video, the weight distribution during brake and acceleration were perfect.
Loved the video, congrats on the win!
Thanks man! Glad you learned something!
@@EricKutilRacing Thank you for sharing!. Regards from Chile, keep pushing!.
impressive!
Awesome racing!
Thanks! 👍
What a beast
That tuned 370 had the hp for sure but you were on his ass
Car looks so fun to drive. Looks like that bit higher Rev at the top end gave you a bit more advantage at that track
It's such a good car yeah! The flat power band is definitely advantageous
I know it feels good to get your first win after moving away from the hatch. Probably gives you a little bit of validation for your decision.
Yeah, absolutely! Gotta get more next year for sure
Nice race! Lucky for you the Honda broke, looks like he was out of tire anyway.
This looks so fucking fun man
curious why do you touch the brakes so much on the straightaway?
Amazing drive boss.....I don't know what the s2k has for brakes but they are working lol
Yeah, they always have fantastic brakes and excellent OEM ABS systems
👏👏👏👏
Gangster
🏁🏁🏁👏
Me looking frantically to figure out what the name of this “sim” was 😂 good racing!
😁
In your opinion whats the safe rev limit for a stock bottom k24a that see 20-30 min sessions on track and canyon driving?
I rev mine to 8400 occasionally if I need the extra rpm but I try to keep it under 8200
@@EricKutilRacing thank you
Hell fucking yeah bro u did it so proud of you me personally with to do this type of race on my Da integra can you gave me any tips ?
On the ECU info in the bottom right I noticed that the throttle position never goes over the high 50s even when you push the pedal all the way down. Is that how you limit the power for the rules?
Yup, you guess it! Detuned with the drive by wire throttle body!
What software are you using for the haltech iq7 to show up on your video
RaceRender3, it's all custom made, took me a lot of time
