2008 IndyCar Series Honda Engine Program
The Honda Indy V-8 debuted in the IndyCar Series in 2003 and has compiled an enviable record of achievements – race victories against stiff competition, reliability and continued research and development.
A 124,000-square-foot facility in Santa Clarita, Calif., provides Honda Performance Development associates complete design, manufacturing and R&D capabilities. Honda also has a mutually beneficial technical relationship with Ilmor Engineering. They will continue working together for on-going research and development, engine maintenance and trackside support for the Honda Indy V-8 racing engine at all IndyCar Series venues.
"It's clear Honda is committed to working with the league as a partner to continue building value in the IndyCar Series," said Brian Barnhart, president of the Indy Racing League for competition and operations, the sanctioning body of the IndyCar Series. "The reliability and performance we have witnessed has been outstanding, and as we move forward cost, availability and stability will be our priority."
For the 2008 season, a 3.5-liter engine (213.6 cubic inches of displacement) will be used to provide longer engine life between rebuilds and additional mid-range torque for the varied IndyCar Series schedule – from street/road courses to short ovals to superspeedways.

Hello!
Thank you for the post.
I think the Honda Indy V-8 is an excellent market power tool and needs to be brought to the wider market. It can make alot of money if the IndyCar Series people use the right PR strategies. I would recommend the use of this online tool called MyPRGenie (http://www.myprgenie.com/technology/) which helps build PR and resolves all marketing issues. I use it personally and am a huge fan.
