No SE-R had the QR engine. All were SR20DE, most turboed, some N/A (?)
Times from fastest 8 cars from each team were added. Lowest Total time won.
Yes, Honda owns the trophy.
Nissan engines were more powerful than Honda in this event. Most SERs were
turbocharged, Hondas mostly N/A.

Hondas also run into problems.

Hondas were lighter and with great suspension. Slow and twisty cirquit used
favored light and nimble cars (as were the Hondas) versus powerful cars (as
were the SERs). Handling was more important than power.

  My question is, does this tells us that those Honda entry cars have better
  hardware?  ( the article didn't say anything about honda running into some
  problems).... or maybe Nissan engines not powerful  enough compared to
Honda?...
  but article did mention that those Hondas are lighter than Nissans,  meaning
the
  Hondas has the advantage.
