Honda Racing eMS is a global e-motorsports event held by HRC, Honda’s motorsports arm, to offer more people a firsthand opportunity to experience the fun of driving race machines and the excitement of motorsports. A total of 200,000 e-sports players from 70 countries around the world participated in 2024, bringing the cumulative total since the inaugural event in 2023 to over 400,000 participants.
