Petaling Jaya, 10 August 2018 – Honda Malaysia (or the Company) today announced and celebrated winners of the recently concluded ‘Sprint to the Suzuka Circuit’ campaign. The campaign was held to reward Honda customers who purchased and registered a Civic Type R during the period of April to July 2018.

The 10 exclusive winners* were chosen based on the most creative answers to the 2 short questions. Each winner will receive two business class flight tickets, two entrance tickets to the iconic 2018 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit in October 2018, a 5 Days 4 Nights accommodation in Japan and two sets of official Honda Merchandise, all worth up to RM30,000.

Commenting about the campaign, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Honda Malaysia Mr. Toichi Ishiyama said, “I would like to extend my appreciation to the Civic Type R customers for their support towards Honda Malaysia. It is our honour and great pleasure to reward the winners who are also owners of the best engineered Civic Type R. This hot hatch is truly a driver’s car with track-worthy performance yet providing great enjoyment to the driver in their daily commute. The Civic Type R is an amazing piece of engineering that provides the Joy of Driving to its owners.”

Being the most powerful Honda model ever sold in Malaysia, Honda Malaysia has received more than 100 bookings and delivered more than 80 units of the Civic Type R since its launch in November 2017. Powered by a highly advanced 2.0L VTEC Turbocharged engine, producing high outputs of 310PS and maximum torque of 400NM, the Civic Type R was engineered to deliver the most rewarding drive in the hot hatch segment.
