Honda continues its love affair with the CR-Z and, in addition to presenting special versions, has now unveiled the show model that will be circulating at Le Mans (alongside the Leaf NISMO RC): the CR-Z Racer already seen at last year’s SEMA.

I want to make my point of view clear before presenting this video. The feeling of driving a real racing car compared to what a simulator gives you is, precisely, incomparable.

When the French aerospace manufacturer Matra declared more than 40 years ago that it wanted to win the 1969 Formula 1 World Championship and the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, many were quite skeptical about this new manufacturer, which had only recently begun building cars and did not have much history in motorsport.

Mercedes-Benz suffered a fairly major setback at the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, serious enough that it definitively cancelled the new CLR programme after two of its cars literally took off somewhere on the La Sarthe circuit, either in qualifying or during the race itself.
