The HRC Heritage Racing Program exists to celebrate and preserve the rich legacy of Honda’s motorsport achievements. HRC is dedicated to honoring our challenging spirit, innovation and passion by offering a worldwide, full-service racing ownership experience, aimed at fostering a deep appreciation of our storied past and inspiring new generations of enthusiasts who share our passion for showcasing Honda’s racing legacy on and off the track.

Through the HRC Heritage Racing Program, Honda Racing Corporation USA (HRC US) is giving enthusiasts the opportunity to own iconic championship race machines. This HRC Heritage Racing Program includes the sale and restoration of historic Honda and Acura race machines that have won races and championships around the world for three decades at legendary tracks including: Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona and Laguna Seca.

The HRC Heritage Racing Program delivers restorations of unmatched authenticity, meticulously performed utilizing the race machine’s original homologation documents, plus notes and photographs from the original HRC engineers involved in each project. The work is supported by extensive HRC archives of technical data ensuring each car and engine is restored correctly.

Each race car is completely torn down and reassembled with new and reconditioned parts and, in the interest of safety, some updated materials. Electronics are modernized and the engines are rebuilt at HRC headquarters in Santa Clarita, California. Finally, post-restoration, each race machine is thoroughly track tested and HRC engineers are available for track support and to assist the new owner in competition.

“HRC restores these historic Honda and Acura race cars to a level enabling them to be driven and feel as original as possible, while still making some updates – especially with regards to electronics,” said HRC Commercial Manager John Whiteman. “Our approach maintains the authenticity of design and driving experience of these iconic race cars and adds modifications for safety and to ensure they are user-friendly for their new owners.”

In 2024, Honda Performance Development merged with Honda Racing Corporation to establish a global Honda Motorsports Organization.

Founded in 1993, Honda Racing Corporation USA designs and develops racing engines, chassis, and performance parts for a variety of motorsports applications. HRC US also provides factory support and parts to production-based racers, helping power their racing dreams.

Racing has always been inseparable from Honda. Competition fuels our challenging spirit, ignites our best thinking and powers many of the imaginative ideas we bring to life. Then, we take what we learned on the track and apply it to every Honda on the road.
