Honda Racing stars warm up for Triathlon Show: 2016 with unique motor-powered challenge

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Three of Honda’s racing stars warmed up for #triathlonshow: 2016 last week in a unique Honda-powered challenge which saw them compete in a boat, on a motorcycle and in a car. 

Fighting it out for the title in the inaugural Honda-powered #triathlon were British Touring Car Championship driver, Matt Neal, alongside British Superbike Riders Jenny Tinmouth and Dan Linfoot. Making up the quartet in a race as much against Storm Henry as it was against each other was motorcycle journalist, Jonathan Pearson. 

The Honda-powered challenge saw the competitive bunch fight howling winds of up to 70mph to pilot a 10 horsepower Honwave inflatable boat around a lake, followed by a tricky skip around the woods on a #honda CRF 250 dirt bike, before crossing the finishing line having completed an off and on road course in a #honda #crv.

The quirky take on the swim, bike, run #event took place at the Cholmondeley Estate in Cheshire to mark Honda’s sponsorship of #triathlonshow: 2016 which starts this Thursday. In a hard-fought shoot-out motorcycle journalist Jonathan Pearson emerged triumphant overall, followed closely by Dan, with Jenny pipping Matt to confine the BTCC star to pick up the wooden spoon. 

Matt Neal comments: “The competitor in me is devastated to have come last – but those bikers just don’t play fair! All I can say is that at six foot seven a small inflatable boat and a dirt bike are not my ideal modes of transport…but I did at least win the car leg in the CR-V! It was a lot of fun, albeit a bit chilly, and we definitely proved that you can go anywhere in or on a #honda.” 

Honda (UK) will be one of the headline sponsors for the #triathlonshow: London 2016, being held at ExCel London from 11th – 14th February 2016. The #event will see #honda debut the Civic Tourer Active Life Concept, designed to meet all the needs of the touring cyclist, as well as its entire line-up of new cars launched in 2015. On display will be the HR-V, Jazz, #crv, Civic Tourer, Civic five-door and Civic Type R models - all set up to highlight the very many versatile and practical solutions that they have to offer. Visitors will also be able to experience the #crv, HR-V and Civic Tourer first hand on a test drive track facility on site.

If that’s not enough, one lucky visitor will walk away with a #honda HR-V for a year simply by registering their name and e-mail address at any of the #honda areas at the show. Ideal for the active-lifestyler, the all-new small SUV marries the practicality and versatility of an SUV with the refinement and drive of a car. Those entering the #competition will also receive a free goody bag when they sign up, and the winner will be announced on Monday 29th February 2016.

As well as marking Honda’s sponsorship of #triathlonshow: 2016, the challenge also set out to demonstrate the company’s broad range of products and the incredible practicality and versatility of the world’s most popular SUV, the #crv. With the boat and its engine tucked snugly into the boot of the #crv, with the rear seats still up, and the motorcycle mounted on a trailer behind the car, each competitor’s essential equipment could be carried by just one vehicle with room remaining for the driver and up to four passengers.
