It's time for the next episode of Driver Battles. This may look like a similar battle to episode four, with an M3 battling a Type R on Nitto NT01s, but this one comes with a twist: The E46 M3 uses hand controls.
Last time, the BMW got the better of the Type R by less than a second. This time, will the Civic reclaim the glory for Honda or will the M3 reassert the power of German engineering?
You can wet your appetite with the in-car footage before the full battle releases later this week.
