With its new American Le Mans Series race program, Acura is soon to arrive
on a stage occupied by some of the world's most prestigious auto
companies. With three new teams, Acura is starting on the learning curve
to the ultimate goal: to race and win at the highest level on one of the
greatest stages in endurance racing, the 2007 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of
Sebring.
SPEED Channel will present a special one-hour documentary (Acura Project
LMP) that will put the viewer behind the scenes with the race teams as
they prepare for this historic race, and behind the wheel of the Acura
-powered LMP2 race car. This in-depth report will offer insight into the
selection of drivers, complemented by behind-the-scenes footage of Honda
Performance Development and the development of the Acura engine. The
special presentation will follow the accelerated development of the Acura
race program over the past four months by following each team through the
rigorous testing schedules.
This program will air on Friday, March 2 (8 p.m. EST, 5 p.m. PST and again
at 12 a.m. EST, 9 p.m. PST) on SPEED Channel. Join us to witness history
in the making as Acura prepares for the first factory motorsports program
in its history!
