In preparation for the upcoming season, HVN has restructured the organization chart to optimize the racing team’s operations, ensuring clear division of responsibilities for each technician and chief technician. Additionally, through research aimed at enhancing the power of the AP250 engine and collaboration with the Yuzy team in Malaysia to develop race bikes in the UB150 category, HVN believes that new technologies will provide invaluable support to the riders competing on the international stage.
In 2023, Honda Racing Vietnam Team will strive to improve the quality of recruitment while increasing the number of riders, thereby enhancing competitiveness, fostering the development and improvement of skills for the riders, and creating ample opportunities for team support during competitions and training.
Participating in Competitions at Home and Abroad
In 2023, HVN will continue to be the main sponsor of the country’s professional motorcycle racing championship – the Vietnam Motor Racing Championship (VMRC). This large-scale race meets professional competition standards and attracts young talented riders.
In order to get closer to the promotion goal, HVN will continue to send outstanding representatives from the racing team to participate in the Thailand Talent Cup 2023 (TTC). This motorcycle race from Thailand serves as a perfect platform for the Vietnamese racing team to gain experience before competing on the international stage of ARRC.
