Honda Motor Co. said Friday it was pulling its team out of a motorcycle race in Japan this year as a part of cost-cutting amid a global slowdown.
Honda said in December that it was quitting Formula One racing to focus on its core business of making and selling cars.
Honda, Japan's second biggest automaker, declined to say how much would be saved by ending its participation in the Suzuka 8 Hour World Endurance Championship Race.
Honda motorcycles will continue to take part in such races for other teams, the Tokyo-based company said.
The Honda Racing motorcycle team was No. 1 last year in the 8-hour race, and second in 2007. The race boasts a 30-year history.
