From press release
Canadian James Hinchcliffe joins Starworks regular Scott Mayer for the return of the No. 78 HPD Riley at the Continental Tire ‘Road Race Showcase' at Road America this weekend for round 10 of the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC).
Honda Performance Development (HPD) developed a new, 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged Daytona Prototype version of the production J35 engine for 2014, with the Daytona Prototype Honda Riley package making its debut at the Sebring 12 Hours with Starworks Motorsport, but with limited success.
"I'm really excited to be at Road America this weekend with Starworks and HPD," Hinchcliffe said.
"I don't have a ton of time in the DP cars, but I know Road America well and I'm sure, with a team like Starworks, they will get me up to speed quick.
"More than anything I'm just happy to be in a car on an off weekend!"
The IndyCar driver has known Starworks team owner Peter Baron since 2006, year the two met in Formula Atlantic.
"(James) has a fun personality and nature that should gel nicely with our team. Honda HPD is also equally excited as we are to see one of their IndyCar drivers with the program."
