Default My visit to Japan and the Honda Collection Hall at Twin Ring Motegi

Back in June I stopped off in Tokyo for a couple of days en route to a friend's wedding and I finally made the trek to Twin Ring Motegi and the Honda Collection Hall.

Below is a link to an article I was asked to write regarding my trip and I included a brief summary of Honda's racing endeavors for people who aren't aware of their prestigious history in motorsport:
S2Ki Article on Honda Collection Hall

Here are just some of the hundreds of photos I took while I was there:

Back in Tokyo in time for dinner after a long day out:



Definitely a very memorable experience! The visit made me even prouder to be a Honda fan. The racing and automobile history contained within the building was incredible!

Thanks for the comments!

I only wish I could have been able to visit Honda's other racetrack, Suzuka, for Formula 1 in October, but time wouldn't permit such an excursion.

If anyone plans to visit Honda Collection Call at Twin Ring Motegi, let me know as I have detailed directions on how to get there. It takes quite a bit of time and subway hopping, but you do get to ride the bullet train which is really cool!
