HRC Debuts ‘Racing the Dream’ Acura ARX-06 Docuseries

Honda Racing Corporation USA premieres its five-part docuseries today, called “Racing the Dream.” The first episode sets the stage for a season-long look at how the HRC US entity is taking on an enhanced role as part of the greater two-car Acura Meyer Shank Racing team in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTP class.

Part 1 is live now at the HRC US YouTube channel (video above), and subsequent episodes will be posted throughout the 2025 season.

HRC US’s presence shifts up from chassis, engine and vehicle dynamics to full strategy and engineering for the No. 93 Acura ARX-06, the second car as part of the Acura MSR program.

The team has added Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly as full-season drivers, with IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup support in the form of three-time IndyCar series champion Alex Palou and rising Japanese Honda driver, Kaku Ohta.

Acura MSR will continue to provide engineering and strategy to the No. 60 Acura ARX-06, driven by multi-time IMSA champion Colin Braun and two-time Rolex 24 winner Tom Blomqvist for the full season with six-time IndyCar series champion Scott Dixon and IndyCar race winner Felix Rosenqvist supporting in endurance races.

In the opening episode, “Prologue,” viewers are introduced to key HRC personnel, including David Salters, President, HRC US, Kelvin Fu, Vice President, HRC US, and Wayne Gross, trackside support manager, HRC US, in addition to team co-owner Mike Shank and the eight drivers who raced the two cars in the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

“Racing is all about people and building a strong team,” Salters said. “We engage in this sport to develop our people, technology, and tools, both at the track and back at our facilities in California and Indianapolis.

“It’s incredibly exciting to go behind the scenes and share this new challenge and adventure for HRC US with our fans. It’s great to show the human side of what we do, the lows and highs, delight and despair, the fun of what we do!”

“Prologue” reveals the timeline of when the work started from the formal announcement of the HRC US and Acura MSR reunion in June 2024 through to the fall and the first official time on-track, the November 2024 IMSA-sanctioned test at Daytona International Speedway.

Preparation continues as the team heads back to Daytona for the Roar Before the Rolex 24 test and concludes just after qualifying for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
