At the risk of starting another gloomy thread, Honda has pulled out of F1 racing, in an effort to free up $500 mil.Full article here--> http://www.reuters.com/article...81205
I imagine top international hotels and champagne-and-caviar set around the world are mourning the loss!No big loss to the F1 world, except Honda spent more money faster than just about every other F1 team out there.Imagine blowing $500 mil a YEAR to run two cars CONSISTENTLY in the back half of the field, race after race, year after year. You could run a couple of consistent top-10 NASCAR teams on half-that much money! Honda should join NASCAR! They could replace Chevy and/or Dodge if the congressional bailout falls through.Officially Honda is 'looking for a buyer', but they'll likely shut down in January and the 800 Honda F1 engineers and support people in England will be looking for another circus to join.
My 2003 Vibe Base Auto 2-tone Salsa "SalsaWagon" was built in May 2002. I acquired it in Feb 2004/Traded it in on a 2016 Honda HR-V in Feb 2018.
What does that mean for Danica? She drove a Honda.

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik »Audi also pulled out of Le Mans I'm sure the corvette team will follow.Oi, I hadn't heard that about Audi As much as they absolutely destroyed the competition, they certainly were the Goliath who needed to be taken down by some David out there.I'm still hoping the Corvette team will move to GT2 class to give some competition to the Ferraris, but it's so doubtful.
