Honda announce new supplier deal.

The Honda Racing team has announced that it has agreed a new supplier agreement with Tripp Luggage.

The company, with twenty years experience in the luggage industry, will become the official team luggage supplier for 2006 - with members of the Honda team using the new GT luggage collection, due to be launched to the commercial market in June 2006 and specifically designed to meet the rigours of frequent travel, for the remainder of the season.

"We are very pleased to welcome Tripp to the Honda Racing F1 Team," Honda Racing CEO Nick Fry said. "The attention to detail and creativity that drives our team is reflected in the Tripp design ethic and we look forward to working closely with them in the future to further develop the relationship."

James McDiarmid, Managing Director of Tripp said

Tripp managing director James McDiarmid was equally pleased with the deal.

"When Tripp started investigating the common association with the Honda Racing F1 Team and the luggage industry, we were surprised to see that innovative composite materials and weight were the key elements in both companies," he said. "The desire and ambition to deliver only the best is what makes this partnership great for both.

"We are excited to be working with the Honda Racing F1 Team and hope that it will result in a new luggage collection that fuses all our expertise and knowledge."
