^^What are the rolling eyes for? Honda is doing the prudent thing. It is a well managed company that realizes it is not viable at this time to spend hundreds of millions on a racing program. Unlike our domestic manufacturers who even today Dec 5th 2008 are spending millions and millions on US racing programs. They are the core of nascar, nationwide and the craftsman truck series. Along with large sponsorship $ being spent in lesser series.
All while sitting in washington today Dec 5th 2008 begging for a bailout!
Bottom line is Honda is a well managed company and the steps they have announced today fortifies that and there longterm survival..

I am not surprised since they never went for a sponsor and they were not competetive.

Honda '08 F1 budget was $398 million. In case you've not heard Audi just announced it's dropping LeMans for '09.
