HGP11

The organisers are celebrating the race’s 30th anniversary this year and have accordingly lined the walkway to the F1 paddock with pictures of former winners. Nelson and Nigel caught my eye, if only because that was the one and only time they wore those particular Honda shirts. Note the cool epaulettes. I think this picture was taken in 1986 at Tochigi, Honda’s banked circuit and factory. There was no Japanese GP back then, so we demonstrated the FW11-Honda on the oval…and promptly destroyed the tyres. Quite why this was chosen for the display in Hungary remains a mystery
