Honda
expects to have its dynamometer and engine assembly facilities up and running
this summer at its Formula 1 new base in Milton Keynes, UK.
Up to now it has been developing its new V6
turbocharged engine for the 2015 season at a new facility in Sakura City,
Japan.
Such is the commitment of Honda that in January
of this year the company moved its motor sports development base from the
Automobile R&D Centre of Honda R&D Co. Ltd, based in Haga-machi,
Haga-gun, in Tochigi Prefecture, to a newly situated area in its facility in
Sakura City (also in Tochigi Prefecture) in a bid to strengthen its
organisation in preparation for its assault on Formula 1.
In a statement Honda said: “At Honda’s European base
for F1 activity in Milton Keynes, UK, installation of the dynamometer and
assembly facilities will be completed in June 2014 to further reinforce the
already solid set-up in preparation for racing.” ∎
