Honda Racing Simulator Championship Held in Indonesia

Yusak Billy, Business Innovation and Marketing & Sales Director of PT Honda Prospect Motor said the Honda Racing Simulator Championship is in line with the spirit of ‘Everyone Can Race’. Namely so that more and more people can enjoy the race, not only on the racetrack but also from their respective homes.

“We believe this event can also be a place for novice drivers to hone their talents and show their achievements. This event is more appropriate to be held in conditions leading to new normalcy, where people are increasingly accustomed to using digital platforms in carrying out various activities, “said Yusak, at the Honda Racing Simulator Championship online press conference in Jakarta (6/18).
