Honda Wins CART championship, And more!

Sunday, January 28. 2001

Honda driver Gil De Ferran accomplished many things this season, including winning the 100th race for legendary CART owner Roger Penske, winning two races, and the Fed Ex CART championship. This was his first championship but the fifth for Honda powered drivers in the last five years. That’s right Five for Five! Honda has a tradition of winning and a tradition of bringing the fruits of this winning technology to the street. As we prepare a new generation of i-VTEC twin-cam engines (see below) we are reinforcing our position as the most versatile engine manufacturer in the world.

In the Speedvision Touring Car series the RealTime Racing Integra Type-Rs had their hands full with the new BMW 328is, but still prevailed to win the drivers championship again. Pierre Kleinubing won his second drivers championship, and the fourth for Acura powered drivers in the last 4 years.

At the SCCA Solo II National Championship in Topeka Kansas, S2000s took first in A Stock , and first and second in A Stock ladies. Proving again that at all levels of competition , where we race, we win.
