TT Race Sales Raise Funds for Charity
01 August 2008
Relentless, the energy drink is please to announce that the profit generated by sales during the Isle of Mann TT will be donated to the Joey Dunlop foundation. The foundation set up in memory of Joey Dunlop, was originally started to raise funds that would enable the installation of a lift in the TT grandstand, making access possible to the main viewing gallery for the disabled. Once this was achieved the foundation continued to receive donations; enabling a second undertaking - to provide much needed accommodation for the physically challenged and their families.

Honda's Quarter Century Of Engineering Excellence
03 September 2007
Racing has always been at the heart of Honda, indeed racing is Honda’s very DNA. From the very beginning company founder Soichiro Honda insisted that his engineers prove the company’s engineering capabilities and accelerate development by testing their creations in the white heat of competition. It has always been thus, from Honda’s very first Model A to the current RC212V MotoGP weapon. As current HRC president Masumi Hamane says: “A racing motorcycle is a rolling laboratory that provides us with live information and the racetrack is the stage where our dreams come true.”
