HONDA RACING F1 TEAM LAUNCHES
PIONEERING ENVIRONMENTAL CONCEPT
Racing team’s call to action addresses environmental issues
LONDON, England (February 26, 2007) – The Honda Racing F1 Team announced a major new initiative for the 2007 Formula 1 season. To help raise awareness of the environmental issues facing the planet, Honda’s RA107 F1 race car will simply feature a huge image of earth, in place of the traditional advertising and sponsor logos which have dominated F1 cars for decades.
The car's new look is a powerful call to action for fans, sponsors, customers and members of the public to join Honda's commitment to help address the environmental issues facing the world.
“This is an exciting concept for Honda on a global stage,” said Jim Miller, executive vice president of Honda Canada Inc. “We, as a major sponsor of the 2007 Grand Prix du Canada in June, will partner with the Honda Racing F1 Team to promote its environmental initiatives here in Canada."

Via the website www.myearthdream.com, anyone who wishes will have the opportunity to have their name on the car, make a pledge for a lifestyle change to improve the environment, and make a donation to an environmental charity. Under the concept of "our car is your car," each name will form a tiny individual pixel which will help build the image of planet earth on the car. Each name will be visible on the website when a pledge is made and will be visible on the car with a microscope.

Universal Music, the largest music company in the world, and Gatorade are the first global brands to partner with the team in this exciting new concept. Existing partners have enthusiastically embraced the idea and all remain involved with the team for the 2007 season. In addition, the team is delighted to announce that Fila, IBM, Instron,Oliver Sweeney, Perkin Elmer, Showa Denko, TUV and GF Agie Charmilles have joined the roster of team partners and suppliers.
The Honda Racing F1 Team will work closely with global environmental charities to develop Honda's existing environmental initiatives within the world's most high profile motor sport.
According to Nick Fry, chief executive officer, Honda Racing F1 Team, "Climate change is probably the single biggest issue facing the global community and F1 is not immune from it. On the contrary, we believe that F1 with its huge global profile and cutting-edge technology can play an important role in not only highlighting the issues but also playing our part in developing solutions. In addition, F1’s sanctioning body – FIA (Fédération
Internationale de l'Automobile) – recognizes the opportunity for F1 to showcase innovative technologies for the benefit of society for the long term. For example, by 2009, devices for energy recovery will be in place on the cars.

"We at Honda F1 are proud to dedicate our car to the environmental challenge. We believe that practical solutions can stem directly from engineers working on our F1 program. They are working harder than ever to achieve our dreams and win the World Championship while embracing and underscoring Honda's environmental initiatives.
We hope that in raising awareness and highlighting the issues, we will encourage members of the public to come together and help take on the challenge of climate change."
Yasuhiro Wada, chairman of the Honda Racing F1 Team and general manager, Honda Motor Company, said, "Honda has a huge desire to challenge for this year's 2007 F1 World Championship. We hope this year will be a successful and exciting season.
Equally, we intend to give something back in the form of our new environmental F1 concept, which we believe will bring something fresh and new to motor sport."Honda constantly strives to be innovative in both its technology and its thinking, and to sincerely respond to the demands of customers and society. Honda has always made great efforts to contribute to the preservation of the environment in its corporate activity.

We hope this new initiative for Honda in F1 racing will help to further stimulate
awareness and interest across the world for these important environmental issues."Honda is the world's preeminent maker of engines for automobiles, motorcycles and power equipment. With 130 manufacturing facilities in 29 countries worldwide, Honda now attracts nearly 20 million customers annually. Honda Canada manufactures the Honda Ridgeline and Civic, and the Acura CSX and MDX at its two plants in Alliston, Ontario. A third plant in Alliston, with the capacity to produce up to 200,000 efficient 4-cylinder engines annually, is scheduled to open next year.-

I donated but when I put all of my information in to pay for it the site just showed a bunch of errors so the transaction never went through.

Super.

I emailed the email link they provide in the FAQ section for any questions, so hopefully they let me know what I need to do.

And for the record, I liked this chassis more when it was all black and not with this theme.
