Handling Course at Transport Research Center Marysville,
Ohio
This facility was commissioned by Honda
America and TRC to provide an advanced, at
limit, testing course for front wheel drive
cars, light trucks and SUV’s to help
Honda’s suspension and handling engineers
develop safe, reliable and exceptionally
stable front wheel drive cars for the general
public. The course offers both high speed
and technical sections with longitudinal
and cross grades that stress the suspension
when worked under extreme speed and weight
loading conditions. With multiple course
layouts (operating in both clockwise and
counter clockwise direction), this facility
has proved to be very demanding and extremely
valuable. The facility has also become a
test center for race cars and motorcycles
and serves as a base for manufacturer dealer,
customer and media vehicle introduction activities,
and driver training.
