Honda has made two variations of a four-stroke, naturally-aspirated, V8 racing engines to compete in Formula One. First, a 3-litre engine in {{F1|1968}}; which had its only competitive outing at the infamous, and ultimately tragic 1968 French Grand Prix, in which driver Jo Schlesser was killed.{{cite web| url = https://drivetribe.com/p/careless-corruption-1968-honda-CwksmnvfQAiLBE7KRNkopA?iid=aLHcMgOIQDeWKIIthigGSw| title = Careless Corruption - 1968 Honda RA302| access-date = 2021-11-21| archive-date = 2021-11-21| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211121095509/https://drivetribe.com/p/careless-corruption-1968-honda-CwksmnvfQAiLBE7KRNkopA?iid=aLHcMgOIQDeWKIIthigGSw| url-status = dead}} Second, the 2.4-litre RA8 series engine, which was introduced in {{F1|2006}}, to comply with the new Formula One regulations.{{Cite web|url=https://www.racecar-engineering.com/articles/f1/hondas-f1-engine-revealed/|title = Honda's F1 engine revealed|date = 24 November 2013}} Honda ultimately had to pull out of Formula One after 2008, due to the global financial crisis. The customer engines were used by both Honda and Super Aguri teams.
