It's been rumored for weeks and now it's official. Honda has announced the sale of its Honda Racing Formula 1 (HRF1) team to Ross Brawn, the former team principal.

Hopefully this means Honda will be able to redirect some resources into more important projects, like a revived NSX program and better looking Acuras.

its too bad they never really achieved success. F1 success is a long term commitment.

Took the words right out of my mouth, but you forgot to add the replacement for the S2000, and a possible coupe based off the same platform. Dream big.

Correct me if Im wrong but Honda was a dominant force in F1 back in the 80's, unfortunatley that didnt remain consistent.
