Want something cool for the pool room? Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) has announced that it is launching a memorabilia business, offering fans and collectors around the world an opportunity to own a piece of its racing history. This new venture will feature a range of racing stuff including signed merchandise, limited-edition bits and other artefacts.
To kick things off, HRC will auction parts from the Honda RA100E V10 F1 engine that powered the McLaren driven by Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger in the 1990 F1 season. The auction will take place during California’s Monterey Car Week in August.

HRC is currently selecting heritage machines and parts from the IndyCar series and significant racing motorcycles for private sales or auctions soon as well.
Honda says; “through this business, we aim to further enhance the racing brand value of Honda and HRC”.
The Honda RA100E F1 engine was disassembled at HRC’s factory in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan by the original engine builders. The auction items include various internal and external components which come housed in display cases, each accompanied by an original HRC certificate of authenticity.
“We aim to make this a valuable business that allows fans who love F1, MotoGP and various other races to share in the history of Honda’s challenges in racing since the 1950s.” said HRC President Koji Watanabe. “Including our fans to own a part of Honda’s racing history is not intended to be a one-time endeavor, but rather a continuous business that we will nurture and grow.”
