Photo Gallery «Technology in race cars (13): Honda RA 272 - lateral driver»
Honda made its debut in Formula 1 with the RA 272 and its predecessor, the RA 271, and showed right from the start that it could compete at the very front. The transverse-mounted V12 engine was more powerful than those of the competition and allowed for a compact monoposto design, which was ultimately rewarded with a Grand Prix victory. This report from the "Technology in racing cars" series looks at the special design features of the unusually built Honda Formula 1 racing car.
