ACURA is a luxury brand of HONDA, established in 1986 in North America. Its early success with such models as ACURA LEGEND or ACURA INTEGRA prompted other major Japanese auto manufacturers to follow suit; TOYOTA with LEXUS and NISSAN with INFINITI (both launched in 1989). Almost since its inception, ACURA has been involved in American motorsports, in series sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). In the early 1990s, an ACURA-powered prototype developed with Comptech Racing scored class victories in the IMSA GT Championship at Daytona and Sebring en route to championship titles in the Lights class in 1991, 1992, and 1993. In SCCA's GT World Challenge America, an ACURA NSX won the GT class in 1997 and ACURA INTEGRA was the top car in the TC class for 6 consecutive years (1997-2002). In recent years, racing cars under the ACURA brand have been competing successfully in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, winning a Manufacturers' Championship in DPi class (in 2019 and 2020) and GT Daytona class (in 2020). An ACURA ARX-05 driven by Filipe Albuquerque, Hélio Castroneves, Alexander Rossi and Ricky Taylor won the 2021 24 Hours of Daytona.
ACURA was introduced in the IMSA GTD Update (v7.1.5)
