RACING HONDAS REVEALS NEW FIVE-CLASS STRUCTURE FOR 2027

A new power-to-weight class structure, lower entry costs and a simpler route onto the grid will form the foundations of Racing Hondas in 2027.

Racing Hondas is set for a significant evolution in 2027, with a new five-class structure designed to welcome a much wider range of Honda race cars onto the grid and give competitors greater freedom over how their cars are built and developed.

The new approach is built around a simple message:

More Hondas. More flexibility. More ways to race.

At the heart of the changes is a move to five performance-based classes, determined primarily by power-to-weight ratio. The structure ranges from Class A at 221–240 bhp/tonne through to Class E at up to 155 bhp/tonne.

Rather than relying on highly prescriptive technical specifications, the new structure will allow competitors to develop their cars or use weight adjustments to find the class that best suits their Honda.

FIVE CLASSES – POWER-TO-WEIGHT

Forced-induction cars and those using sequential gearboxes are welcome throughout the structure, with a 5 bhp/tonne performance adjustment applying to each configuration. Where both apply, the adjustments are cumulative.

Championship Ballast will also be introduced, with a class win adding 15 kg and ballast reducing by 5 kg following each race, up to a maximum of 30 kg.

The result is a class structure that protects a place for existing Racing Hondas competitors while significantly broadening the range of Honda race cars that can join them on the grid.

A LOWER-COST ROUTE ONTO THE GRID

The changes for 2027 go beyond the technical regulations.

Annual Membership will reduce to £95, with Full-Season Registration costing £165.

For competitors who don’t want to commit to an entire season, a new £35 Single-Event Registration will also be available – and importantly, both Full-Season and Single-Event registered competitors will score Championship points.

The first £35 Single-Event Registration includes membership for that event, meaning a new competitor can experience Racing Hondas and score points for £445 including race entry.

If they decide to return, Annual Membership is then required. Competitors can continue to register event-by-event or move to Full-Season Registration, with the first £35 credited against the £165 Full-Season Registration fee if they upgrade before entering their next event.

SEVEN ONE-DAY EVENTS

Racing Hondas will compete across seven one-day events in 2027, continuing to put the Championship in front of enthusiast audiences at events including Modified LIVE, Tunerfest, Go Japan! and JDM JAM.

The compact format will feature a 15-minute qualifying session followed by two 15-minute races, with event entry set at £410 Inc VAT.

Where the timetable allows, competitors will also have the option of purchasing a separate 15-minute Practice session for £55, giving those who want the additional track time a complete 60-minute package for £465.

The one-day format keeps race weekends compact while the high-profile events provide valuable exposure for competitors and their sponsors.

FIND YOUR CLASS

Whether you’re already competing in Racing Hondas, thinking about returning, have a Honda racing elsewhere or are currently building a car, the new structure is intended to provide a straightforward route onto the grid.

More Hondas. More flexibility. More ways to race.
