Honda fans around the world, indeed all Formula One fans, are waiting with bated breath for the launch of the McLaren Honda MP4? 31. The 2015 Formula One season was difficult for the team to put it mildly, as the two icons of the sport got back together to much fanfare. There is of course very little room for real development during the course of a typical F1 season, so there was much work in the UK and in Japan during the off-season recess in order to prepare for this year. Meanwhile, there have been many rumors regarding the potential of the new car, but we will only start to get a real feel for it when testing gets underway prior to the first race in Australia. The team retains the undoubted, pent-up talent of the two former world champions and Fernando Alonso. F1

The all-conquering Toni Bou, who has won this championship on nine consecutive occasions, will spearhead the Repsol Honda attack this year. Bou will be joined by 21-year-old veteran Takahisa Fujinami and the youngster, Spaniard Jaime Busto on identical machines. It?s hard to believe that Toni Bou is still only 29 years old - he has been riding since he was eight. He won the world championship in bicycle trials when he was only 30, before switching to motorcycle trial riding.

Fujinami is known for being flamboyant, aggressive and brave and therefore a spectator favorite, while newcomer Busto will boost the team aspirations for Repsol Honda. The Montesa Cota 4RT is known for its reliability and performance. For this year the engine displacement has been increased, in order to optimize control for the ?higher-level? parts of the WCT.

Team HRC will field two riders in the series in 2016 ? Gautier Paulin and Evgeny Bobryshev. Paulin, who finished second in the series and ?Bobby? who finished third will campaign the Honda CRF450RW this year. Paulin was a world championship winner aboard BMX bikes at the tender age of six. When he moved up to motorized versions he quickly took the European championship. Bobryshev was similarly a young starter, but got much of his experience in the 125cc Russian championship before moving into motocross. The third rider Tim Gaiser will campaign a similar machine under the team Honda Gariboldi Racing banner. CRF450RW factory machines run Dunlop tires and are specifically designed to give a lower centre of gravity for greater control. They have a range of custom performance parts, often featuring titanium to reduce weight. Derivatives of this machine include the 250 RW, victorious in the MX2 category last year. In 2016 this title will be eyed by 19-year-old Jorge Zaragoza for Team Honda Gariboldi Racing. HRC rider Kei Yamamoto will ride a CRF450R to compete in the M X GP

2015 was a year when Honda was somewhat overshadowed in the Verizon IndyCar championship. Their aero-kit was deemed to be somewhat ambitious and this meant that they were not able to match early strong performances from key rival Chevrolet. However, even though the opposition scored 16 pole positions from 16 races and 10 wins, Honda Performance Development was nevertheless able to come back. Honda drivers won four of the last six races, due to significant improvements as the year went by. Championship organizers permitted Honda additional leeway in the development of the car during the off-season and much is expected during 2016. It?s good to see also that Honda has renewed its commitment as an engine manufacturer to the series for the long term.
