And these are just Honda’s planned activities in the automotive racing world. The manufacturer is also very active in motorcycle racing, even winning Dakar 2020 just earlier this month. And throughout the rest of the year, it will:

  • Compete in the MotoGP class of the FIM Grand Prix World Championship, striving to win the “Triple Crown” for the fourth consecutive year
  • Compete in the FIM Superbike World Championship with a new HRC factory team and new CBR1000RR Fireblade superbike
  • Compete in the top class of three categories in the MFJ All-Japan Championship
  • Support Honda Team Asia, which competes in Moto2 and Moto3, and riders competing in the FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship
  • Host training sessions in Japan for team riders competing in the MFJ All-Japan Motocross Championship

One of Honda’s stated goal, where motorcycles are concerned, is to win the championship in all three categories, including motocross, trial, and road race, for the second year in a row. The manufacturer hasn’t been quite as successful in automobile racing, but after a strong debut partnership with Red Bull Racing in F1, it may have a chance at contesting for the championship there too.
