After Toyota's V8 engine noise simulation test at Sugo, it was Honda's turn to try out a noise-enhancing SFormula exhaust at Fuji on Monday 🔊 Story includes video:
Two types of exhaust were used, with a shorter version used in the morning before the longer version was fitted for the afternoon session.
Honda's domestic motorsport boss Masahiro Saiki revealed that a preliminary test with the exhaust had taken place at Motegi's South Course to check for heat damage, and that exhausts of different length were brought to Fuji in case differing temperatures led to any unexpected changes. "The new exhaust is quite heavy, so I don't know if it will end up being used in earnest," he said."It's clear teams wouldn't want to use something that weighs several kilograms more without bringing any performance benefits.
