"We're excited to be returning to World Challenge with our new car. Entering our club cars last year at Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta was a great experience and we're really looking forward to coming back with the RSX," said Kevin Helms, co-owner and driver for Team Hondaworks.

Team Hondaworks has had a very busy off season.

"We've signed nearly 20 new partners since we started this program,” said Whitaker. "We have companies from the United States, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan and a handful in Europe all offering support. We have been very fortunate to meet so many great people. The level of commitment from our partners has given us an opportunity to build a fantastic car with a truly international flare.

"At one time we had South African engineers talking with engineers in Australia all the while working to build us the best braking system possible,” Whitaker joked. "It was great!”
