Ack Attack Post 28: Car Competitions

Hondas are everywhere in the car market, from showroom floors to high speed races. This interest in speed and aerodynamics has transferred over to Acura. Acura is in numerous car competitions, from drifiting to racing to show cars. The Speed Channel often shows Acuras in races they cover. One was on the other day where and Acura TL was competing with a Chevrolet Corvette and more extreme cars. This shows that Acura does not need the NSX to compete with cars that Americans find to be fast, the NSX is kept for special occasions. Of course this TL in the race was not stock, but it was still a TL.

Formula 1 racing is a special type of racing designed for the most aerodynamic and fastest cars out there. These cars are not daily drivers and very few are made. In fact, the Acura race car won the 2007 American Le Mans Series season opener, showing that Acura is not a brand to brush off.
