Honda’s US motorsport arm believes that its Acura ARX-06 is “quite ready” to race at the Le Mans 24 Hours, but there are no plans yet to take it there.The ORECA-chassised Acura has been the standout car in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, although crashes have blunted its race results since scoring a 1-2 finish in the Daytona 24 Hours.
When asked if he was frustrated by not taking the ARX-06 to Le Mans this year, HPD president David Salters replied: “Yes and no. I think we’re quite ready. It [Le Mans] is a different animal, so we’d need to learn that. You never know where you’re going to be. “So, it’s what works for Honda Motor, it’s got to be coherent, but it’s in discussion. It’s a big picture thing, it’s up to them to sort out.”Photo by: Michael L. Levitt /Salters says that the car’s strong showing at Daytona and Sebring – which makes up over half of the IMSA season’s race-running time – gives him confidence that the ARX-06 would be well suited to the arduous challenges of Le Mans.
