Default Accura ( Honda ) enters ALMS in '07

The Acura division of Honda Motor Company has announced plans to enter the American Le Mans Series in 2007 – starting at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Multiple Acura-powered LMP2 entries will be competing in the entire 2007 season. Acura's race program will feature engines designed and developed by Honda Performance Development mated with chassis from Lola (B05/40) and Courage (LC75). Testing of the Acura-powered prototypes will begin this summer. Drivers and teams will be announced in the near future.
