Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), a racing arm of Honda, announced today that it is launching a memorabilia business, offering fans and collectors around the world an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of racing history. This exciting new venture will feature a wide range of authentic, high-quality memorabilia, including signed merchandise, limited-edition collectibles and rare artifacts from the company's storied legacy in motorsport. HRC plans to auction actual parts from the Honda V10 engine used by Ayrton Senna to win the 1990 F1 Championship, with the first HRC memorabilia auction taking place during Monterey Car Week in August. HRC is currently selecting heritage machines from the IndyCar series and valuable racing motorcycles to be included in the future.
