Ahead of the 47th Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race, held July 3-5, 2026, a feature looks back at Honda's recent campaigns. Tracing the record and memories from Team HRC's comeback win in 2022 through its four consecutive victories up to 2025.
Four straight wins at the Suzuka 8 Hours — anyone who's raced endurance knows exactly how absurd a number that is. Eight hours in midsummer, only reaching the summit when three riders, the machine, and the pit all mesh together without a single mistake. Team HRC's streak, built up since 2022, is the real deal. This year's 47th running — I want to see firsthand whether this fortress finally cracks.

Held July 3-5, looking forward to seeing whether there's new drama again this year.
For that comeback win, how many years had it been since they'd last won?
There was a stretch of struggling before 2022, so the comeback from there made it that much bigger.
Just the number '4 straight titles' alone really shows how stable Honda's been in endurance racing over this stretch.
The Suzuka 8 Hours running to its 47th edition — a race that carries enough weight to get a feature like this every year.
Looking back at past glory is nice, but whether they win this year is a separate matter.
From the 2022 comeback win to 4 straight titles, Team HRC's strength in that stretch was genuinely on another level.
