Almost since its inception, Acura has been involved in American motorsports, specifically in [[Sports Car Club of America]] (SCCA) and [[IMSA GT Championship]] series.  Starting in 1991, Acura reached an agreement with [[Comptech]] Racing to use the V6 motor of the Acura NSX in Comptech's Camel Lights [[Spice Engineering|Spice]] prototype.  Acura would go on to take the Lights championship in its initial year, including a class win at the [[24 Hours of Daytona]].  Acura and Comptech would take the Lights championships again in 1992 and 1993, as well as another Daytona class win in 1992 and a class win at the [[12 Hours of Sebring]] for 1993.

However a change in the IMSA rules would lead to the demise of the Camel Lights, and so Acura moved to [[touring car racing]], joining Realtime Racing in the SCCA [[Speed World Challenge|World Challenge]] with the NSX in 1996, winning the final two races of the season.  In 1997, Acura added Acura Integras to the lower classes, and were successful in taking the championship in both of these classes.  Realtime took the touring championship with the Integra again in 1998, and came within a few points of winning it again in 1999 only to lose it in the final race, then coming back to retake the title in 2000.

Although Realtime had abandoned the NSX program in 1998, the NSXs returned to the top class in 2001.  Although the NSX squad suffered mechanical woes and were unable to take the title, the Integras of the touring class once again took the teams championship.  By 2002, Acura replaced the aged Integra with the new [[Acura RSX]] in the final races of the season, scoring good finishes in their debut.  At the same time, Acura finally retired the NSXs from the top GT class.  The RSXs would later be joined by new [[Acura TSX]]s in 2004.  Realtime continues to campaign the RSX and TSX in the SCCA [[Speed World Challenge]].  Acura also currently races RSXs and TSXs in the [[Grand American Road Racing Association]]'s [[KONI Challenge Series]] for touring cars.

At the [[Detroit Auto Show#2006|Detroit Auto Show]] in 2006, Acura announced their plans to enter the [[American Le Mans Series]] with multiple teams of [[Le Mans prototype]]s in the LMP2 class starting in 2007 season.  The cars would be purchased chassis from existing manufacturers, but use American-built Acura V8s (a first for Acura and Honda).  Acura also announced their initiative to take the cars to the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] in 2008 and eventually move to the superior LMP1 class with cars built by Acura themselves in 2009.  Later in 2006, Acura announced that the three factory teams would be [[Andretti Green Racing]], [[Fernández Racing]], and [[Highcroft Racing]], and that the chassis would be built by [[Lola Cars]] of the UK and [[Courage Compétition]] of France.

The three Acura-powered prototypes debuted at the [[2007 12 Hours of Sebring]], which was the opening round of the ALMS season, and were successful in their debut.  Andretti Green's Acura took second place overall and first in the LMP2 class, while Fernández Racing took third overall, and Highcroft sixth, beating a series of established [[Porsche]] teams in their class. At the same time, Acura began development of their own chassis by heavily modifying their purchased Courage chassis.  The cars now have been so radically changed from their original orientation that they are now named [[Acura ARX-01a]].  Acura will introduce evolved B-spec cars in the 2008 season, with [[Gil de Ferran]] launching a fourth Acura team in the ALMS.

In 2009, Acura produced its first LMP1 car, the [[Acura ARX-02a]].

In 2010, Honda rebadged all Acura prototypes as [[Honda Performance Development]] (HPD) cars, and announced that all future prototypes (such as the [[HPD ARX-03]]) would be constructed under the HPD name.

Acura did not participate in motorsports again until 2013, where two Acura ILXs were unofficially entered in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill by Honda R&D Americas designers and engineers (Team Honda Research West). The car would retire from the race due to engine problems.

The Acura ILXs returned to Thunderhill for the 2014 25-hour race. This time the car won its class and finished 8th overall. At the 2016 [[New York International Auto Show]], Acura announced the [[Group GT3|GT3]] version of the NSX, which began competition in 2017<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sportscar365.com/gt/acura-nsx-gt3-launched/ |title=Acura NSX GT3 Revealed |last=Dagys |first=John |date=23 March 2016 |work=Sportscar365 |publisher=John Dagys Media |access-date=8 May 2016 |archive-date=10 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160610013410/http://sportscar365.com/gt/acura-nsx-gt3-launched/ |url-status=live }}</ref> with factory support in both [[WeatherTech SportsCar Championship]]'s GTD class and [[Pirelli World Challenge]] GT class, the latter replacing the Acura TLX. The car competes under Honda branding outside North America.
