    Sad day for F1, Honda fans (not much to cheer about tho), JB & RB etc Shame RB wasn't there earlier, his changes may have created better rewards? Maybe the aero flaw in the design of the car could had been rectified which wasted the entire last season! I can't believe with the biggest budget? They can't produce a decent car for the last 2-3 seasons!

    Maybe when the world economy improves they can come back refreshed & focused, maximising the whole operation on a cheaper budget!

    Maybe they will save the money and build the next NSX!

    Fat chance of that!

    Cheers,

    I hope then that Honda switches to sports car racing.

    Le Mans and GT racing is gaining popularity each year. Real cars and real racing, unlike F1 where more and more rules are brought in to try and control the cars and races.

    So this would mean a GT1 or GT2 version of the new NSX racing alongside the Porsches, Astons and Corvettes, which are after all the competitive cars in the marketplace for Honda.

    It makes more sense to use GT racing to demonstrate and 'improve the breed', than F1.

    Oh and it's a whole lot cheaper too.

    Well the successes they have achieved with Team Halfords in the BTCC standings have been something spectacular.

    Let's hope as above they concentrate on a reason to produce a new 'Halo' car.....
