Honda's original Formula 1 effort, during the 1960s, had its ups and downs. One of the absolute highlights was the victory in the 1967 Italian Grand Prix for John Surtees behind the wheel of the one-off Honda RA300. Sometimes referred to as the Hondola, it combined an aluminium monocoque chassis developed by Lola with the latest evolution of the Japanese company's howling V12 engine. Built specifically for John Surtees, it debuted at Monza where it promptly scored Honda's first and ultimately only win of the three-litre era. Honda brought out the unique 1967 Italian GP winner for this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed where it was driven with great verve by former Honda racer on two wheels and four Stuart Graham and current Honda test-driver Nobuharu Matsushita as can be seen in this 22-shot gallery.
Honda's current partner McLaren was a prolific racing car manufacturer in the early 1970s. Among the classes the British company catered for was F5000 with the M10B. It was a subtle evolution of the highly successful M10A of 1969. As the other rivals had caught on, the M10B was not quite as successful. Of the 21 examples built in 1970, we have today added three different chassis.
