The RA302 was the last Honda F1 car for over 15 years before Honda reentered F1. Designed by Yoshio Nakamura, the RA302 entered only 1 race that it did not finish after having completed on 8 miles in 2 laps.

An incredibly innovative car with an air-cooled 120 degree V8 had massive potential that was never realised. Equipped with a magnesium-skinned monocoque with the engine suspended from a boom the car suffered from little development work before being entered for the 1968 French Grand Prix. John Surtees, lead driver for the team, was opposed to the car being entered and his fears were borne out when the driver Jo Schlesser was killed. The car, with its exposed engine intakes was susceptible to wet weather conditions and when it began to rain the engine cut out and Schlesser lost control and died in the fierce fire than ensued.

A second car was built and was earmarked to be driven in practise for the Italian race by Surtees. John declined and Honda withdrew from Grand Prix racing at the end of the season
