Zitat

Der Type R erzielte die Rundenzeit mit der Standardmotorabstimmung und identischem Fahrwerk, Antrieb, Auspuff, Bremsen und Aerodynamikpaket wie das Serienmodell des Civic Type R.

Und laut Honda mit identischem Gewicht auch wenn der Käfig rauskompensiert wurde.
Aber von Reifen oder VMAX Begrenzer keine rede.

...The lap time was achieved during the final phase of pre-production testing in May 2014 by a Civic Type R development car. The development car was in a standard state of engine tune, with suspension, drivetrain, exhaust, brakes and the aerodynamic package identical to those of the production Civic Type R.

The removal of equipment such as air conditioning, the front passenger seat and audio equipment offset the additional weight of a full roll cage (installed specifically for safety reasons and not to add rigidity).

During the test cycle, the development car used production-specification high-rigidity 19-inch alloy wheels. These were fitted with 235/35R19 road tires being developed in conjunction with a major European tire manufacturer especially for the new Civic Type R. The test cycle during which the 7 minutes 50.63 seconds lap time was achieved was part of the tire’s development and testing process.
