Honda Pushes the Ad Boundaries As Well As the Engineering Boundaries
Posted by admin in Honda Racing on June 20, 2011
There are very few adverts that avoid being annoying, irritating or serve as a cue to flick over the channel these days, yet those that stick in the memory are the clever ones, the cool ones, the ones that you actually forward to seeing during the commercial break and there is one particular company that fail to impress with their TV adverts: Honda.
Their latest offering is The impossible Dream ad featuring a bearded man leaving his residence – a caravan – on a sunny morning wearing a racing jumpsuit complete with racing stripes. He hops onto a Honda Z50J Monkey bike and rides off, then you see him riding a Super Cub scooter through the winding roads, and then onto the beach where he is riding a TRX450R ATV quad bike through the shallow waters.

Honda RA107: Off with the “Elephant Ears”
Posted by admin in Honda Racing on June 20, 2011
In Barcelona, Spain last week Honda F1 team has tested its new aerodynamic design which was in the form of “elephant ears”.
The Honda RA107 which was driven by Christian Klien with its protruding elephant ears on its front nose was following the heels on MacLaren’s nose-straddling front wing. Unfortunately it seems like the elephant ears are not really meant for racing, the Honda F1 team has set the slowest time of the day. The team has finally decided not to push through with their new aerodynamic design since it has done nothing to enhance the performance of their car.
According to Jacky Eeckelaert, engineering director, “The main purpose of our test programme this week was to evaluate different aerodynamic configurations which have been developed in order to improve the braking stability of the car. The braking is definitely better now and the lap times have improved and become more consistent, but there is still a long way to go to bring the team back into contention.”
