Hear The Roar of Honda's Vintage F1 Cars In Their Natural Habitat
Hear The Roar of Honda's Vintage F1 Cars In Their Natural Habitat-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:49

Most of us are excited for because their previous cars were so awesome. Naturally, it makes sense for the Honda Collection Hall to let some of their historic race cars loose on Twin Ring Motegi South Course.

The is more than a museum. Cars are kept in drivable condition, so Honda performs "running confirmation tests" on the Twin Ring Motegi located next to the Honda Collection Hall.

Above is the stunning MP4/5, a car that marks Honda's acquisition of 3 consecutive years of McLaren Honda F1 cars. This car is from 1989, straight from the era of Senna vs. Prost.

Here is the McLaren Honda MP4/4 from 1988. This spectacular turbo car helped Senna and Prost achieve fifteen wins in F1 that year.

The third testing video released is of the Williams Honda Fw11 from 1986, which led Williams to a Constructors' Championship that year.

This, my friends, is how you run a car museum. Racecars weren't meant to sit. They're meant to be run and enjoyed.

This Stupidly Strong Truck Might Bring 4WD Back To Off-Road Racing
This Stupidly Strong Truck Might Bring 4WD Back To Off-Road Racing
Contrary to what might sound logical, four-wheel drive is not ubiquitous in off-road racing. In fact most of the super hot race winners at an event like the Baja 1000 are rear-drive. But that might be starting to change, as builders are figuring out how to match 4WD systems with...

Onboard In Formula One's Old School Turbo Era
Current Formula One cars supposedly produce around 900 horsepower with 1.6-liter turbo V6s assisted by hybrid drive. Back in 1983 Renault made similar power with a turbocharged 1.5 liter V6 alone. This is future four-time world champion Alain Prost in a Renault RE40. It has an 880 horsepower evolution of...

IndyCar Insiders' Plan To Fix Series' Decline: Do Nothing
At the Indianapolis 500 last weekend, we asked a bunch of IndyCar drivers how they would make the sport more popular. “Produce the same kind of race as always,” driver Ed Carpenter suggested. “The product speaks for itself,” Marco Andretti said. This year’s Indy 500 produced the television ratings in...
