Own Iconic Honda F1 Memorabilia: HRC Unveils Exclusive Collectable Treasures
Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) is delighted to unveil its new memorabilia venture, giving fans and collectors worldwide the rare chance to own a piece of motorsport history. This innovative endeavour showcases a diverse array of authentic, premium-quality items, including signed merchandise, limited-edition collectables, and hard-to-find artefacts from Honda’s illustrious legacy in racing.
HRC has meticulously curated rare, limited pieces from the historic Honda RA100E F1 engine to mark this new memorabilia offering. This power unit propelled the championship-winning machines Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger driven during the 1990 F1 season. Enthusiasts can seize the opportunity to own a part of Honda’s remarkable F1 heritage this summer at Monterey Car Week in Monterey Peninsula, California, USA.
By acquiring original components from the engines that propelled Senna and Berger to victory, fans can relive those triumphant moments whenever they wish. With this venture, HRC aims to elevate the racing brand value of both Honda and HRC, bringing motorsport enthusiasts closer to the heart of Honda’s achievements.
Skilled mechanics at HRC’s factory in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, carefully disassembled the RA100E engine. The original builders of these winning power units supervised the entire process. Collectable items include camshafts, cam covers, pistons, and connecting rods, all beautifully presented in display-ready cases and accompanied by an official HRC certificate of authenticity.
Honda proudly exhibits historic racing machines at the Honda Collection Hall in Mobility Resort Motegi, Tochigi Prefecture, and at the Honda RACING Gallery in Suzuka Circuit, Mie Prefecture. These displays feature iconic motorcycles from 1950s Isle of Man TT races, early 1960s F1 machines, and other noteworthy examples throughout the modern era. Many remain in running condition, thanks to an extensive assortment of carefully preserved spare parts. The Collection Hall has selected certain items to ensure that selling these limited parts will not compromise the maintenance of operational machines.
HRC plans to include heritage machines, parts from the IndyCar series, and historic racing motorcycles in upcoming private sales or auctions.
“We aim to create a meaningful enterprise that allows fans passionate about F1, MotoGP, and other motorsport series to share in Honda’s rich racing legacy since the 1950s,” explains Koji Watanabe, President of HRC. “Inviting our fans to own a piece of Honda’s racing history is not a one-off project but a continuing venture that we intend to expand and develop.”
