The wait won't be long to see it on track because the new engine will debut with the Starworks Motorsport team in a Riley Gen3 prototype chassis at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/12+hours+of+sebring/">12 Hours of Sebring</a> from March 12-15.<br />
<br />
The new HR35TT engine is based on Honda's J35 production V6 found in a variety of its models, including the current <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/accord/">Accord</a>. The racing version benefits from dry sump lubrication, but is still similar to the production version with an aluminum block, direct injection and single overhead camshafts. It is fueled by 100-octane E10 fuel, but like many racing engines, exact power figures have not been released.<br />
<br />
Starworks has had a close relationship with Honda since it won the LMP2 class at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/24+hours+of+le+mans/">24 Hours of Le Mans</a> and in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/world+endurance+championship/">FIA World Endurance Championship</a> in 2012 with a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/hpd/">Honda Performance Development</a> ARX-03b chassis and Honda engine.
