Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) has announced its participation as the factory team “Honda HRC” in the 46th edition of the 2025 FIM※ Endurance World Championship “Coca-Cola” Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race (hereafter, Suzuka 8 Hours), scheduled for August 3, 2025.
The Suzuka 8 Hours is a special event for endurance racing fans worldwide and a significant race for Honda. This year, Honda aims for its 31st overall victory by fielding last year’s winning riders, Takumi Takahashi and Johann Zarco.
