With this in mind, we take on the exciting journey of training and developing Filipino young racers, in collaboration with SDG (Showa Denki Group) MS HARC-PRO Honda Ph,” says Mr. Mitsuishi.

As Domestic Racing will be the based activity for reaching Road to Champion / World Class races, HPI will continue to discover and support riders with the same level and quality of skills and talent by continuing to join the domestic racing competitions such as IRGP (Inside Racing Grand Prix), MotoIR Championship, Super Series, competitions, that young and aspiring riders will be able to improve their skills and develop their self – confidence in riding, competing with the other brands. And will be discovering a new set of young aspiring riders thru Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup (HPDC) program starting with the Try-Outs this 2023.

HARC-PRO, headed by Mr. Shigeki Honda was introduced and unveiled the collaboration with HPI during the event. The professional racing team, originated in Japan is popular for producing World Class talents such as Hiroshi Aoyama former GP250 World Champion and now Honda Team Asia’s Team Manager; Takaaki Nakagami of LCR Honda Team competing in MotoGP and a former Japan Road Racing Champion, and other famous and former MotoGP World Champions Casey Stoner, Nicky Hayden and Jack Miller including World Superbike’s (WSBK) Michael Van der Mark and Leon Haslam are also former HARC – PRO Suzuka 8 Hour Riders including former Moto 3 rider Yuki Kunii to name some few personalities. In the Philippines, it was established last 2021 located at Cabanatuan City Nueva Ecija.

HARC—PRO Ph in collaboration and support from HPI will be continuing to participate in ARRC under the team name SDG (SHOWA DENKI GROUP) MS HARC- PRO Honda Philippines with their Japanese riders in ASB1000, #73 Haruki Naguchi and AP250, #27 Chihiro Ishii.
