Johann Zarco says there was “nothing special” from Honda at its recent Suzuka 8 Hours test.
Johann Zarco commented that there was “nothing special” from Honda during the Suzuka 8 Hours test. He is preparing to participate in the famous eight-hour race for the second time as a factory Honda rider. Zarco, alongside Takumi Takahashi and Teppei Nagoe, won the race on his debut last year. Testing began in late May for Zarco, who flew to Suzuka for a private test after the British Grand Prix. He mentioned the difficulties of the test from a mental and physical perspective due to the tight schedule. Zarco appreciated the opportunity to be at Suzuka, comparing performance with Takahashi, and interacting with fans despite the short visit to Japan. Luca Marini’s absence due to a crash may lead to a new third rider joining Zarco and Takahashi for the Suzuka 8 Hours on 3 August.
