Honda offers Formula Nippon driver F1 test

21 January 2008

The Honda Formula 1 team will continue its pre-season testing this week at Valencia. The team will be testing for the first time with newly signed test driver Alexander Wurz. The team furthermore announced that it has offered Formula Nippon driver Takashi Kogure a two-day test.

The 27-year-old Japanese driver, who races for Honda in the Formula Nippon and Super GT Series in Japan, will have the opportunity to drive the RA107 during Wednesday and Thursday. Following his performance in these series, Kogure has been rewarded with the RA107 drive as part of the Formula Dream Project through which Honda supports and develops promising young drivers.

Commenting on his forthcoming drive in Valencia, Takashi Kogure said; "This is my second opportunity to drive a Formula One car and I am really looking forward to it. I hope to do my very best and use all my experience from racing in Japan to put in a good performance. I expect to learn a lot from the test, particularly from working alongside the team's Formula One drivers who are amongst the very best racing drivers in the world. I would like to say a big thank you to the Honda Racing F1 Team and the Honda Formula Dream Project for giving me this great opportunity."
