Toshihiro Mibe, Director, President and Representative Executive Officer Honda Motor co., Ltd.
本田汽车株式会社董事、总裁兼代表执行官三部敏博“From the days of its founding, Honda has grown up as a company with racing and has been developing its people and technologies through racing. The Honda “racing spirit,” which has served as the basis for Honda’s commitment to winning in pursuit of its dreams, has been handed down from the company founder to the Honda associates of today, while overcoming a number of difficult challenges taken on by past generations of Honda associates. In that sense, motorsports is a major embodiment of Honda corporate culture. Always keeping that in mind, Honda will continue this challenge by racing in a variety of categories in the 2022 season.
“从成立之日起，本田就已成为一家赛车公司，并一直通过赛车发展其人才和技术。本田“赛车精神”是本田追求梦想、致胜的基石，公司创始以来，几代本田员工克服重重困难与挑战。从这个意义上说，赛车运动是本田企业文化的主要体现。我们始终牢记这一点，本田将在 2022 赛季通过各种类别的比赛来延续这一挑战。
In order to strive to make motorsports sustainable and more attractive for everyone, we will take on challenges in other areas such as carbon-neutral fuels and combustion technologies, in addition to electrification. Technologies we refine through motorsports will be incorporated into various products, not only for motorsports, which will continue to support future Honda.
为了努力使赛车运动可持续发展并更具吸引力，除了电气化之外，我们还将在其他领域如碳中和、燃料和燃烧技术迎接挑战。我们通过赛车运动改进技术，并应用于各种产品，而不仅用于赛车运动，赛车运动将支持本田的未来。
Starting this season, Honda will further strengthen its motorsports operation and capability by adding automobile racing activities to Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), which has been operating Honda’s motorcycle racing activities. This will enable Honda to achieve mutual collaboration of the technologies and know-how Honda has amassed in the respective areas of motorcycle and automobile racing and increase the efficiency of motorsports operations. With this change, Honda will conduct its motorsports activities with a goal to establish itself as an even stronger racing brand, through which Honda will establish a robust foundation that ensures continuous inheritance of motorsports as part of Honda DNA.
从本赛季开始，一直经营本田摩托车、赛车活动的本田赛车公司（HRC）将增加赛车活动，来进一步加强其赛车运动的运营和能力。摩托车和赛车各自领域积累技术和经验，两者会相互协作，并提高赛车运动的运营效率。本田将的目标是打造一个更强大的赛车品牌，确保赛车运动作为本田 DNA 的一部分得以传承。
In order to fulfill the expectations of motorsports fans and Honda fans and customers all around the world, we will continue devoting our energy to motorsports, through the “new” HRC that integrates our motorcycle and automobile racing activities. Moreover, Honda will continue taking on new challenges so that we can continue sharing dreams and exciting and inspirational moments with our fans and customers.”
为了不辜负全世界赛车迷、本田车迷和客户的期望，我们将继续通过将我们的摩托车和赛车活动相结合的“新”本田赛车公司（Honda Racing Corporation ），运营赛车运动。此外，本田将继续迎接新的挑战，以便我们能够继续与我们的车迷和客户分享梦想以及激动、鼓舞人心的时刻。
