HRC History: Honda Explains The Photos On Display In The Paddock

As a journalist, one of the less glamorous parts of the weekend is spent waiting around to talk to riders. Less glamorous, maybe, but certainly not unpleasant: the time is usually spent standing around in the hospitality units of the teams or manufacturers, picking at snacks especially laid on for us and being served refreshments by the friendly and charming staff that crew the hospitality units.

In the HRC hospitality unit, where the press get all those quotes from Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Casey Stoner you will read in various media outlets around the world, the waiting has been very much eased by a magnificent series of photos putting Honda's rich history in Grand Prix racing on display. The photos have been met with universal interest and appreciation by the press, and as a result, Honda have decided to make them available to the general public.

HRC today issued a press release containing the photos and a brief explanation of each. It's reproduced below, along with the photos, courteously provided by (and copyright of) Honda Racing Corporation. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we have been doing, and remember to click on the link for larger versions of the photos, as you can do for all of the photos on the site:
