Honda and Acura enthusiasts are likely familiar with Honda Performance Development, or HPD for short. Well, say goodbye to HPD, because it's now going to be HRC US. HRC stands for Honda Racing Corporation, and because HRC Japan already exists, this will be its sister group called HRC US.
It's big deal news for the folks HPD right now, because HRC Japan is the team responsible for Honda's Formula One program efforts with Red Bull Powertrains at the moment. Now that HRC is going to be one giant entity, it means that HRC US will contribute to the F1 program, too, starting with the Aston Martin engine supplier deal that will see cars on the track in 2026. Maybe all that sounds a little too much in the ether, but practically speaking, Honda employees in the U.S. will be working on F1 technology. Honda says that it sees the growth of the sport here in North America, now with three races in the U.S., and wants its American team involved with power unit development and race support in the future.

1moThis is beyond frustrating! I'm writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my Honda ZRV purchased in the GCC region. For over a year, I've dealt with: Widespread Paint Chipping: Unacceptable for a car built for the GCC's harsh climate, yet Honda blames "external factors." Many ZRV owners here share this problem. Malfunctioning Display Screen: Further impacting my ownership experience and potentially compromising safety while driving. Audio Unit Replaced Twice (Under 1 Year): Raises serious concerns about the overall quality of the vehicle. My situation is even more concerning because I have a nerve injury that's aggravated by stress. Honda's lack of transparency and communication throughout this process has been incredibly stressful, jeopardizing my well-being. Despite contacting Honda and my local distributor, Al Futtaim (offered irrelevant service), the core issues remain unresolved.
