I know for the IRL some of those "failures" went away when they began working with Ilmor engineering.

Good watch.

Thinking about the video reminded me of this. Honda's greatest ever failure.

holy shit, 500cc oval piston v4 engine :tongue:

Yup. The 1979-1982 NR500 Grand Prix bike. The bike itself was the first to have a monocock frame.

They also made a 750cc street and race version.

1987 Suzuka 8 hour Pole

1992 This was! (Tamburini was inspired by it to do the Ducati 916)

Great Video. I actually watched all 3. Even if one does not like Honda Automobiles, it is hard to argue that The Company as a whole is a company with great vision and profound yet realistic philosophy.

Oh, the dreaded post of EVIL. Just before this one.
