Honda Marks 500th Formula 1 Race at United States Grand Prix

Honda celebrated its 500th Formula 1 race at the United States Grand Prix, held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, from October 23 to 25, 2026 — a milestone dating back to its first F1 entry in 1964. The number speaks for itself. The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team's AMR26 cars carried a commemorative Honda500 logo, while Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) race engineers wore matching apparel to honor the achievement and the company's long motorsport journey, according to a company statement.

Honda in F1: From 1964 to the Honda–Aston Martin Partnership

Honda's Formula 1 story began in 1964 with its first entry at the German Grand Prix. Over the following decades the company's role shifted repeatedly — from a full manufacturer team developing both chassis and engine, to supplying power units to other teams, and eventually to developing and manufacturing advanced power units. A restless trajectory. Starting with the 2026 season, Honda competes as a works partner to the Aston Martin Aramco team, supplying the dedicated RA626H race power unit.

Marking the 500th Race

Honda launched a dedicated website and commemorative video highlighting key moments from its F1 participation and achievements, along with its continued commitment to future challenges in motorsport. The content documents the full arc. The 500th-race celebration pays tribute to Honda's journey in the championship and the support it has received from fans and partners across decades of F1 competition. The audience was part of the story.

Honda is now preparing to continue its F1 campaign with the RA626H power unit, a move that reflects its technical weight in motorsport. The next challenge is bigger. Honda cars are available in the Egyptian market through a range of models — notably the Civic, Accord, and City — alongside Honda prices that continue to shift in the used-car market. The 500-race milestone is more than a memory; it's a waypoint on a longer road.
