Honda Racing combines motorsport divisions to form HRC US
For the past 30 years, the two divisions of the company have been operating independently, each focusing on different aspects of Honda’s global racing goals. By merging into one entity, HRC US will be able to combine the knowledge and expertise from all motorsports divisions to drive the program forward. Starting next year, David Salters, the current president of HPD, will become the president of the newly merged entity. HRC US is excited to join forces with HRC Japan and represent Honda Racing globally, leveraging their racing heritage and continuing to grow in the ever-changing world of motorsports. HRC was established in Japan in 1982, overseeing motorcycle racing, and recently added Honda’s F1 program to its responsibilities. HPD, established in 1993, has managed Honda’s IndyCar and IMSA programs, among others. HRC US will make its debut at the 2024 Rolex 24 at Daytona with Acura prototypes sporting the new HRC logos.
