Honda Team To Skip Suzuka Motorcycle Race This Year

TOKYO (Nikkei)--Falling profitability has prompted Honda Motor Co. (7267) to decide against entering a team in this year's Suzuka 8-Hours Endurance Race, Japan's premier motorcycle race, company officials said Friday.

tai bet zinome, kad suzukos gonkes japonam yra svarbiau uz viska. praktiskai motogp lygio reikalas laimeti jas. tai kaip cia gaunasi, jei jau didziausias gamintojas nebedalyvaus?
hmmm...
antra vertus, daugiau sansu privatininkam, kai traukiasi gamyklos.
valio!

chekaut, kas svarbiau hondai:
"And since I touched on F1, now’s a good time to mention today’s bombshell news of Honda withdrawing from that auto-racing championship to “protect its core business activities and secure the long term as widespread uncertainties in the economies around the globe continue to mount,” according to company president and CEO Takeo Fukui. There were immediate worries that the situation could also affect HRC’s involvement in MotoGP, but Auto Sport quotes Honda Europe spokesman Paul Ormond as saying the company’s involvement in other forms of motorsport will continue, which means Repsol Honda and Honda’s satellite MotoGP teams should be safe, at least for now. “We will be looking at reducing our costs, as we’re sure other teams will be doing too, in MotoGP and other motorcycle activities,” he said."

Nu jo, bandys ir MotoGP kastus mazinti. Bet kadangi F1 islaidos buvo pacios didziausios, tai jas karpe pirmu numeriu. MotoGp paliks, bet dalinai apkarpys. Sunku bus pedrozai!

siemet suzuka be hondos, o kitamet visa amerike be hondos?
It was bad enough last year with no HRC team running but no support teams either .

Will other manufactures follow, maybe. Mladin retired because of DMG.

Honda Fully Pulling Out of US Series?
by dean adams
Friday, September 18, 2009

Shockwaves are rolling across the US roadrace industry this afternoon with the word that American Honda is completely pulling out of DMG/AMA Superbike/Sport Bike/Supersport for 2010. The current spec of the rumor has them pulling all levels of support including Corona Honda, Erion Honda, factory-supplied technicians and any race team staff.

It's known that DMG execs were at Honda's Torrance facility earlier this week for a meeting with American Honda management.

E-mail requests for comment have not yet been returned.

All assets will be put into storage for future consideration. Team staff was informed of these changes today at 1:00PM PDT.
