Honda flag off racing season 2016

The ninth edition of the Honda One Make is all set to commence on June 24, and promises to be the start of an exciting season. Honda have also gone the extra mile to get talented women on the grid, and in a first, the year’s racing will include a season exclusively for women racers. The 10 ladies participating in this year’s season have been trained at Honda’s own Ten10 Racing Academy.

Just days before the racing was to start, Honda unveiled the race-prepared versions of the CBR 250R and CBR 150R, and also launched India’s first motorsport helpline to help mould young, aspiring racers. Budding talent can call them to receive the correct guidance towards becoming future champions. Prabhu Nagaraj, Vice President, Customer Service, HMSI, said, “Motorsport has been in Honda’s DNA from the inception.
