As a further extension of its growing commitment to grassroots racing in North America, Honda has announced that it is making a major commitment to the 2014 running of the legendary Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, as both a sponsor and race participant, with plans to field products in seven distinct race classes.
Honda
will return as the Partnering Sponsor for the 2014 Broadmoor Pikes Peak
International Hill Climb, the second time the company has participated
as a corporate sponsor of the legendary race event. The 92nd running of
the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will take place on
Sunday, June 29.
"Pikes Peak presents us with a unique
opportunity to showcase Honda's diverse product lineup and to energize
Honda fans around the world, as we work to further strengthen Honda's
presence in racing at all levels," said Art St. Cyr, president of Honda
Performance Development, the racing arm of American Honda. "Our
associates will be working hard between now and Race Day to prepare this
diverse field of race vehicles and showcase the Honda Racing Spirit."
Honda
has competed in the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on a
less ambitious scale in the recent past. In 2011, Honda campaigned a Fit
hatchback that was built and piloted by Honda engineers from North
America. Prior to that, Honda set records in EV class in 1994 and 1999
with the Honda EV Plus.
Good luck to all the Honda teams from Tom Wood Honda in Anderson!
