Joel Joseph's one-of-a-kind turbocharged Honda City VTEC | What drives me | Ep 8

In this episode of What Drives Me, we sit down with Joel Joseph, the man behind Race Concepts, to hear the story of how he became one of India’s most passionate Honda tuning and motorsport figures. Joel takes us through the journey of the car that started it all, his Honda City VTEC, and how it evolved from a simple enthusiast project into the RCM TC500R, a 600bhp turbocharged Honda City built as a tribute to everything he’s achieved. From naturally aspirated builds to record-breaking drag racing, this car has been Joel’s learning ground, his obsession, and his reset button on a Sunday morning. In this episode, Joel walks us through the details that make the TC500R so special — from the Garrett GTX turbo setup, custom engineering and cooling work, to the rare Japanese-inspired parts that keep it period-correct on the inside while being completely wild under the bonnet. It’s a build that blends old-school Honda soul with serious performance, and a story that proves why the Honda City VTEC remains a legend in India’s tuning culture. Watch this full episode of What Drives Me to experience Joel Joseph’s story, his motorsport journey, and the turbocharged Honda City VTEC that drives him. #evoIndia Want more #ThrillOfDriving videos?
