I for one follow the Group A & Group N categories like: DTM, Australian V8, Le-Mans series, American Le-Mans Series, Super Taikyu, Japanese Super GT , British Rally, Ireland Rally, WRC, the Argentinian TC 2000, and locally the Peruvian Desafío Movistar (an all noveu drivers race) and Peruvian Super Turismo 2000 (go Honda!).

We all expect to see them angry & furious Mercedes Benz, Audi, Ford, BMW, Vauxall, Holden and my favorites Honda Type R and Nissan R34 & R35 roaring and conquering every apex and straight to the final lap!

Starting in 1964 with the passion of its fonder, Honda has always been close to the Formula One, from John Surtees who won the first Grand Prix (1967 in Italy), the amazing Ayrton Senna, and recently Jenson Button. This announcement closes a long relationship between the manufacturer and one of the ultimate racing events.

At the moment there are several serious buyers for the sub-division, we hope Honda Racing F1 to continue the next year’s season although it may be under another name.

Long life to the champions.
