Honda recently demoed a Formula Ford with a Fit 1.5 liter engine at Road America. The Honda package is said to require less maintenance and use less fuel than the current 1.6 liter Ford “Kent” motor. The engine package will cost an estimated $12,000 dollars. This is great news to all the grassroots and beginning racers out there! Go grab a used Van Dieman or Swift chassis for nothing and start racing!

This car is currently being homologated to race in the Super GT series in Japan. It is Honda’s aborted replacement to the NSX. It looks as though we have missed out on an amazing car to drive, but we will have to suffice with watching it race. Members of HPD (Santa Clarita’s Honda Performance Development) division have expressed hope that the car will also be sent stateside to participate in the ALMS. For now, enjoy the sights and sounds of this beast lapping the legendary Suzuka Circuit.
