“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.

“從成立之日起，本田就已成為一家賽車公司，并一直通過賽車發(fā)展其人才和技術(shù)。本田“賽車精神”是本田追求夢想、致勝的基石，公司創(chuàng)始以來，幾代本田員工克服重重困難與挑戰(zhàn)。從這個意義上說，賽車運動是本田企業(yè)文化的主要體現(xiàn)。我們始終牢記這一點，本田將在 2022 賽季通過各種類別的比賽來延續(xù)這一挑戰(zhàn)。

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.

為了努力使賽車運動可持續(xù)發(fā)展并更具吸引力，除了電氣化之外，我們還將在其他領(lǐng)域如碳中和、燃料和燃燒技術(shù)迎接挑戰(zhàn)。我們通過賽車運動改進技術(shù)，并應(yīng)用于各種產(chǎn)品，而不僅用于賽車運動，賽車運動將支持本田的未來。

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.

從本賽季開始，一直經(jīng)營本田摩托車、賽車活動的本田賽車公司（HRC）將增加賽車活動，來進一步加強其賽車運動的運營和能力。摩托車和賽車各自領(lǐng)域積累技術(shù)和經(jīng)驗，兩者會相互協(xié)作，并提高賽車運動的運營效率。本田將的目標(biāo)是打造一個更強大的賽車品牌，確保賽車運動作為本田 DNA 的一部分得以傳承。

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.”

為了不辜負(fù)全世界賽車迷、本田車迷和客戶的期望，我們將繼續(xù)通過將我們的摩托車和賽車活動相結(jié)合的“新”本田賽車公司（Honda Racing Corporation?），運營賽車運動。此外，本田將繼續(xù)迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)，以便我們能夠繼續(xù)與我們的車迷和客戶分享夢想以及激動、鼓舞人心的時刻。
