The Powerhouse Behind the Machine: About Honda LCR
Team Overview
Founded by legendary racer Lucio Cecchinello in 1996, LCR (Lucio
Cecchinello Racing) has evolved from a grassroots team into one of
MotoGP's most respected independent outfits. Based in the heart of
Monaco, the team has maintained a rock-solid technical alliance with
Honda since 2006, serving as the primary satellite partner for the HRC
racing program.
Riders Featured
After a challenging 2025 season, LCR approaches 2026 with renewed
optimism. Johann Zarco, fresh off his sensational victory in the French
GP at Le Mans, brings veteran expertise and technical mastery to help
refine the RC213V. Joining him is rising star and Moto2 World Champion
Diogo Moreira, making his highly anticipated MotoGP debut. The
first-ever Brazilian GP champion, Moreira gained his initial MotoGP
experience at the Valencia test last November, returning to the track
for the Sepang Shakedown (29–31 January), where he shaved 1.6 seconds
off his best lap between the second and third days.
Why This Partnership Reshapes the Grid
By aligning with Honda LCR, GOD55 Sports isn't just reporting on the
news; they are becoming part of the story. MotoGP has seen a surge of
interest in Southeast Asia markets such as Indonesia, Thailand, and
Malaysia. This alliance ensures that fans in these regions aren't just
spectators; they are insiders with exclusive insights, engaging content,
and unique fan experiences.
GOD55 Sports will support the Honda LCR Team across the 2026, 2027, and
2028 MotoGP seasons. The GOD55 Sports logo will be featured prominently
on the Honda RC213V machines ridden by Johann Zarco and 2025 Moto2 World
Champion Diogo Moreira, as well as across team official apparel,
helmets, and assets.
Activation Plans with GOD55 Sports
Marking Honda LCR's first official MotoGP launch, the event creates a
unique platform to spotlight the Honda LCR and GOD55 Sports strategic
partnership while building momentum ahead of the races. This 2026 MotoGP
season will feature integrated brand activations in collaboration with
Honda LCR across selected MotoGP events, designed to drive social media
engagement, boost brand awareness, and rally support from the global
fanbase.
Following the recent Sepang Test, riders Johann Zarco and Diogo Moreira
showcased the team's pace and competitiveness ahead of the 2026 season.
Through this collaboration, GOD55 Sports will deliver exclusive
behind-the-scenes content, rider insights, and interactive fan
experiences, connecting Malaysian audiences to the excitement of MotoGP
