Revved up and ready to go! A new season of the Motul Honda Cup has arrived with electrifying momentum as New Zealand’s biggest Honda-only motorsport event.

As longtime sponsors of the cup, we’re proud partners of the series again this year and thrilled to welcome Mugen on board. Renowned for its engineering expertise and world-class performance parts, it’s fantastic to have Mugen’s support for the 2024-25 season.

We have two veteran racers championing Honda as our official drivers. Representing Honda Store Newmarket, Kevin Hopkins is taking charge of a Honda Civic Type R EP3, while national sprint car champion, Kerry Brocas is behind the wheel of a Civic Type R FK8 for Honda Store South Auckland.
