Goodwood 2021 - What if we tried to take an ordinary sedan to the test? feat. Hinata Celesta 1600GS Turbo
Carol Lee (@Carol_Lee), 10th July 2021
Disclaimer: The event is NOT sponsored by Hinata Motor Corp.
Ah. Goodwood. The yearly event for classic racecars, modern racecars, supercars, and everything in between. This is the event where they all gather together, and test out which is the fastest to finish the whole course.
To bring some fun to the usually serious event, we’re not going to bring a race car, a supercar or even something sporty. That’s right, we’re doing an “experiment” where we are going to test normal vehicles to check how fast it could go to the iconic hillclimb sprint. Obviously, it can’t beat any Tristella, Gyphon Gear, or all the high-performance legends on the track, but will this random sedan could take the challenge?
Picture taken while the car is still on Malaysia.
And, this time, what we are bringing? That’s right, the latest (as in model year 2020) Hinata Celeste sedan we bought as a test car this May. If anyone isn’t well versed with Hinata’s most popular midsize sedan, the Celeste has already existed since the early 1960s as a larger, more luxurious alternative to the Aurora compact. The current generation was released in 2018, and a facelifted model has just launched this year, although its not coming yet to Malaysia as of right now. So, the pre-facelift version will do, I guess. Hope Han Seng Hinata (distributor of Hinata vehicles in Malaysia) quickly launch the facelifted version as soon as possible.
Inside the bonnet, is an all-new 1.6 liter turbocharged engine which replaced the outgoing 2.5 liter inline-4 (from the last generation) as the top-of-the-line engine option (A 2 liter inline 4 N/A is still available for people on a smaller budget), paired with a 7-speed transmission and a load of kit, which means the car starts from RM 200K (which is like 48K in USD, cars here are very expensive anyway) for the small business owner who doesn’t want a crossover. Despite generating just 10 HP more than the old unit (190 HP), the new unit is more robust, responsive and economical than ever before.
Even with the new engine and a new chassis derived from Hinata’s latest platform, the Celeste has some pretty average performance. Top speed is limited to 180 km/h, and acceleration from standstill to 100 needs 8.82 seconds to achieve. But I’m not expecting much from the Celeste, since its not a track day killer for gods sake. But I will still say that the car feels the part. Despite being not as excellent as, say, a similar car from Kimura or a Seikatsu, but the Hinata Celeste feels the part. It’s beautiful, comfy, roomy, and pretty good for a D-segment, which is a big improvement from the Nagoya-based firm’s last offering.
Enough car talk, back to the track. So, the car obviously had to imported to the United Kingdom before it could join the race. With the help of a mover company, an airplane, and undisclosed amounts of cash, the car safely arrived to the Isles 2 week after the initial plan (of course, at the time of writing the car has yet to be returned). Besides that, some registrations, some files, more driving lessons later and I, alongside with some staff from Drivers.com as well as James Vaughn Jr., one of America’s best sports car drivers, have took a ticket to England.
And Goodwood, here we go. After a night’s stay on a nearby hotel, we went to the venue next day (which is the first day of the event), to watch some laps. The cars that day include classic F1 racers, some modern supercars, some race cars as well as some oddballs including a Dakar Rally racer and a 80s Swedish sedan that caught my eye. Of course, there’s always the sculpture, which in this year is courtesy of Lotus, looks pretty striking on my eye.
After that, we have taken a seat, in a designated area designed for the press, such as Motornation and The Exhaust Note. Besides that, we also checked out the gallery with loads of new vehicles, and some more activity on the other parts of the estate. In the evening Vaughn also took me for some training courses, as well as some talking. The rest of the day happened without any incident, other than the fact that we had a delicious fish and chip dinner on a nearby restaurant.
The next day came, and is the time for our run in the track. Obviously, despite the fact that I have some racing experience last year, I don’t think I ever had racing in a midsize sedan on a track like this. After some briefing, we head to the track, with the car on my hands.
On the track, the only “normal” vehicle in the lineup is ours, as everyone else, including car companies, racing teams, museums, etc. is on a fancier vehicle with better performance. Of course, we’re not expecting much, as I’m happy to finish the course without dying anyway.
And some moments later, its our turn for the sprint. The Celeste’s throttle response in the straights is indeed great, which reminds me of the more driver-oriented Reina than the larger, more comfortable Vista anyway. Sure, it’s not as good as the Reina, but the Celeste is probably good enough for some light track duty…
…if it have gotten a better suspension system. Even with McPherson fronts and a multi-link rear, its not a good car for runs like this. Since we’re getting the GS model sans the HP (Hinata Performance) pack, the ride is pretty soft, wallow, and a clear lack of sharpness. Corners are not it’s strong point, and some roll occurred on some instances of corners.
The steering didn’t really picked up any favors as well. Its way better than some of its competition, but that steering is certainly not sport-car like. Thanks to the tuning, the Celeste’s steering is surprisingly easy to manage, which is a good thing to hear after all those problems in the sprint.
Tyres on the car isn’t all that good, however. The use of economy-oriented hard tyres isn’t helping the car much while getting grip (we actually offered proper race tyres but we rejected it for sake of some experimenting) and in some instances, wheelspin and some slight understeer on out attempt. The car did broke 140 km/h on a straight, but we aren’t really expecting it could go over that either.
And poof, we got to the end of our lap, without anything serious. The car is still intact, and I am now writing the article on a laptop in a hotel room, instead in a hospital. Which means we got lucky anyway.
So, here’s the conclusion for the event. What do we learnt today? Honestly, not really much, other than the fact that I shouldn’t try to risk being shamed on the event. However, its still one hell of a race, and probably the only time we could do something like this in my lifetime. Will I return to Goodwood after this? Sure, but I don’t think with the Hinata Celeste that time.

What a stunner! The Jiyukaze is, without doubt, the most detailed and visually appealing car anyone has ever made for display on these forums, and will most likely remain so for months, if not years, to come. Enough said.

That roof line and window look crudely cut out. But, that’s something that is caused by how automation works, I don’t mean to rain on your parade.
As one of the artists who performed the CSS and Photoshop works behind the Sendo projects, I can indeed confirm that there were some uneeded imperfections that we could have improved upon that we just did not expect a pedantic person to snope around in. My apologies for letting such a thing impair your visual enjoyment of this automobile, and we will strive to improve our competence in this sector in the future. Thank you!

The Helix R1 is the achievement of countless years of innovation, with a lightweight carbon frame, pushrod front and rear suspension, and all-new 5.2L twin-turbocharged V10, all designed in collaboration with Zacspeed. Also engineered with Zacspeed, is the advanced aerodynamics and active suspension system, continuously responding to the driver’s inputs in a matter of milliseconds. The radically design exterior was made in collaboration with RetronIX, with their expertise in advanced shaping techniques. Put these aspects together, and you’re left with a formidable combination.
_
Moving to the interior, drivers are greeted with a high-tech advanced cockpit, designed by Einhoff Performance. Directly in front of the driver is a 12.5 inch OLED fully customizable digital gauge cluster, with 5 custom UI appearances, that switch with the IDS selector mounted in the central tunnel. In the central portion of the car, drivers are greeted with a 10-inch OLED central display that controls climate, navigation, and more finite control over the IDS system.
The steering wheel is also a new development, with multiple functions for control over the R1’s various systems, and new carbon fibre paddle shifters. Perhaps the biggest center point of the interior, however, is the IDS controller, or Intelligent Drive System. Through a simple dial, drivers can control the R1’s 6 drive modes (Dynamic, Comfort, Sport, Race, Vmax, Individual), and set select parameters, adjust the suspension, aerodynamic mode and so on, for a drive like no other.
_
_
In terms of other features, the R1 features full microLED head and taillights, side camera mirrors, 21-inch carbon fibre wheels, a front axle lift system, adaptive cruise control and an active safety suite developed by Einhoff. These features make it more than the average supercar- they make it livable.

I’ve never heard of Goosens before, but this recent halo car of theirs seems like a great start for whatever lore it has.
And yes, just like me, you seem to be struggling how to build a fully detailed interior for a modern car - but whatever I’ve seen on the inside looks and feels like a step in the right direction.
The all new ALTUS CF-e.
Electrified.
As the first electric vehicle created by ALTUS, the CF-e combines the technology from the future and the heritage of performance and driving feel of an ALTUS, and with these values, we have created the ideal shooting brake of the future, for one to explore.

We celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the iconic Gujarat Master, the King of Indian Roads
This blue model here is actually the first generation Master to ever produced and sold to the public. The original Master was basically a rebadged Malford Dover and with several modifications to suit the badly maintained Indian roads at the time. The car, however, was more associated with well-to-do people at that time, and it wasn’t became a staple of the Indian market until the late 60s due to lower living standards in the country.
The Gujarat Master, as well its donor car was a pretty advanced car at the time. Semi-trailing arms and steel monocoque bodies aren’t what we called groundbreaking today but in the 50s, it was witchcraft. The Gujarat’s design is different from what we know today, as the original design tends to be more American than what we see today, and it is more larger and tougher than the donor car thanks to its modifications.
With a 55hp 1.5 liter Lanyard push-rod engine from Malford Motors, the car could go from 0-100 in 19 seconds and its top speed is about 150 km/h. Two versions are available, with the model shown here is the “Deluxe” model with more chrome, better seats and a twin color scheme.
The current vehicle was bought by the owner of the museum and it was part of his collection. But today, the car was officially sent to England as to test how the iconic Indian sedan could do in Goodwood. Driving the vehicle is the well-known American race car driver James Vaughn Jr, who was the champion of the GTD class in the IMSA SportsCar Championship at 2018 and 2019.
