Very much so Hazza, Honda are utterly obssessed with the 8H race. As you say when Colin won his last title he only got the bits he had been on about for a year after the 8H race.
Cant really see the mentality in it. Coz there are no factory Honda teams apart from the uk team who are already miles ahead in their championship. Just typical Japanese pride and all that nonsense.
Remember they used to be the same about the TT, sending pukka factory bikes every year until the superbike rules came in and Yamaha and Suzuki beat them senseless.
IS interesting aswell that the AMA team said "eff off" to the no doubt half million renatl fee for the bikes, as did Ten Kate who funnily enough pick and choose the HRC kit parts they use and oftne end up developing their own versions to be better!
