    Honda prepares to attack Pikes Peak

    Quite impressed with Honda's dedication to racing here. 10 Hondas!





    The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is without doubt one of the most challenging events on the motor sport calendar.

    Huge altitude changes, nail-biting corners and spectacular scenery all make for one hell of a race, and this year more than a few manufacturers are gunning for victory.

    Honda is perhaps most notable for the sheer number of vehicles it's fielding this year. There's ten in all - four cars, five motorcycles and one all-terrain vehicle.

    The automaker will be supporting a twin-turbocharged Acura NSX in the Open class, along with an Acura TL SH-AWD (similar to the Honda Accord Euro) in the Time Attack class, a CR-Z in the Exhibition class and a Honda Fit EV (AKA Jazz EV) in the Electric Vehicle class.

    Of the bikes, there will be two CRF250Rs, one CRF450R, a CBR600RR and a CBR1000RR in the Exhibition class. The lone ATV will be a Honda TRX450.
