Acura Creative Director Dave Marek puts his virtual brush to NSX GT3, resulting in a very unique, and recognizable Livery for Acura, Realtime Racing's PWC comeback team. love it! Automotive design often begins with the art of the line. For Realtime Racing's NSX GT3 team, Dave Marek employs the historically correct Acura, RealTime Racing color scheme, including RTR's signature "squircles" – in a mirror-image pattern common to both Acura Motorsports NSX GT3 racing efforts this year.

"Now we have two iconic liveries in two series representing Acura Precision Crafted Performance.
