Honda RA302

Automobiles

The Honda RA302 was an air-cooled Formula One car built on an order from Soichiro Honda and introduced by Honda Racing France during the 1968 season. Its magnesium-skinned body set it apart from the water-cooled, aluminium-bodied RA301 that the main Honda team ran alongside it. It raced only once, at the 1968 French Grand Prix at Rouen-Les-Essarts, driven by Jo Schlesser after regular Honda driver John Surtees refused to drive a car he thought unsafe. On lap three Schlesser crashed and the magnesium bodywork and fuel ignited, killing him and destroying the original car. A second RA302 was built afterwards.
