Kelvin Fu succeeds David Salters as Honda Racing Corporation USA president
Summary

Kelvin Fu will become the new president of Honda Racing Corporation USA, succeeding David Salters. The leadership change takes effect later this week, with Salters departing to pursue a role at a technology startup outside of the motorsports industry. Fu previously served as vice president of the organization since 2021 and has been part of the company since 2015. Under the outgoing leadership of Salters, Honda secured three IndyCar manufacturers' championships and five drivers' championships. As the company moves toward the introduction of the IR28 chassis and new engine regulations in 2028, Fu assumes responsibility for managing the firm's ongoing commitment to the IndyCar series. The transition marks a shift in executive direction as Honda continues its partnership with teams such as Meyer Shank Racing.
