Honda made two variations of a four-stroke, naturally aspirated V8 racing engine to compete in Formula One. The first was a 3 litre engine in 1968, whose only competitive outing was the 1968 French Grand Prix, in which the driver Jo Schlesser was killed. The second was the 2.4 litre RA8 series, introduced in 2006 to comply with new Formula One regulations. Honda had to pull out of Formula One after 2008 because of the financial crisis of that year, and the customer engines were used by both the Honda and Super Aguri teams. In grand prix results the V8 engines scored one race win, one pole position and four podium finishes.
