In a recently released video, James May (aka Captain Slow) has decided to give his opinion on what was, until recently, the fastest front wheel drive on the Nürburgring (the Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R has meanwhile dethroned him), The Civic Type R.
The most curious thing is that the famous presenter, often accused of driving slowly, was extraordinarily quick to review the Japanese model. In about two minutes James May assessed the aesthetics (dubbed “very Japanese”), the interior, the infotainment system and even the driving impressions (summarized with a simple “it's fast”).
However, the most interesting thing about James May's review of the Civic Type R was the peculiar way in which it explained how to distinguish a rear wing from a spoiler. According to the Briton, the only way to know is to (literally) use your head.
If this fits under the aerodynamic appendage, then this is a rear wing. If our head doesn't go under the aerodynamic appendage then the car has a spoiler. So you can see the entirety of this (quick) review we leave you the video here.
