"It's very special to have Acura become part of our partnership with Red Bull Racing Honda and Scuderia AlphaTauri Honda for the United States Grand Prix 2021," says Masashi Yamamoto, Honda F1's Managing Director. "This has been an incredible F1 season so far and we are proud to add the Acura brand to our story for this iconic F1 race in America."

This is not the first time F1 legends have featured Acura branding. From 1989 to 1992, Honda F1 drivers including Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost wore Acura visors at the Canadian and U.S. Grand Prix. Most recently, Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello displayed the Acura logo on their visors for the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix.

"I've been a huge Formula 1 fan my whole life, and as a kid growing up in Canada I remember seeing Acura on the helmets of Senna and Prost at the Canadian Grand Prix," said Emile Korkor, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales. "Motorsports competition is extremely important for a performance brand like Acura and we couldn't be more excited about our partnership with Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri for this race."

Racing is a key expression of Acura's commitment to Precision Crafted Performance. Acura has a significant motorsports presence in North America with the brand sweeping the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Drivers', Manufacturers' and Teams' Championships in both the DPi and GTD racing classes in 2020. Acura also won its first-ever overall victory at the grueling Rolex 24 of Daytona this year, with the Acura ARX-05 piloted by Wayne Taylor Racing.

"Over the past five years, Acura has demonstrated an unyielding commitment to Precision Crafted Performance on the road as well as on the track," said Jon Ikeda, Vice President and Acura Brand Officer. "This weekend we celebrate our role as the performance division of Honda and are thrilled to be back in Formula 1 for the first time in almost 15 years."

On the street, Precision Crafted Performance is exemplified with a product lineup delivering world-class engineering, driving dynamics and technology. Reintroduced to showrooms this year, Acura's Type S performance brand is recognized by driving enthusiasts who seek a more dynamic driving experience with enhanced power, handling and braking. Simply the best-performing sedan and SUV in Acura history, the turbocharged TLX Type S and MDX Type S push the joy that comes from an emotional driving experience to new heights. The new limited-production 600 hp NSX Type S supercar is the most powerful and best performing Acura ever.

About Acura

Acura is a leading automotive nameplate that delivers Precision Crafted Performance – a commitment to expressive styling, high-performance and innovative engineering, all built on a foundation of quality and reliability. The Acura lineup features five distinctive models – the ILX and TLX sport sedans, the RDX and MDX sport-utility vehicles, high-performance Type S variants and the electrified NSX supercar. All 2021 model year and newer Acura vehicles sold in America are made in the U.S., using domestic and globally sourced parts.

About Acura Motorsports

Acura Motorsports programs have been integral to the Acura brand since its launch in 1986. The rich legacy of Acura sports car racing includes the 1991, 1992, and 1993 IMSA Camel Lights manufacturer/driver championships, and the 2009 American LeMans manufacturer, driver, and team championships in both the LMP1 and LMP2 classes. Acura currently campaigns the ARX-05 DPi with new partners, Meyer Shank and Wayne Taylor Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, where Acura powered the team, manufacturer, and driver championships in 2019 and 2020. The NSX GT3 Evo, available through Honda Performance Development, Inc., for North American customers, won multiple championships in 2019 and 2020 in both the IMSA and SRO World Challenge series.
