The Honda RA302 was a Formula One racing car produced by Honda Racing, and introduced by Honda Racing France〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Honda RA302 )〕 during the 1968 Formula One season.〔 The car was built based on the order by Soichiro Honda to develop an air-cooled Formula One engine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Formula One Entry (1964): The Question: Victory or Technology )〕 Thus, the magnesium-skinned car was forcibly entered in the Formula One race alongside the water-cooled, aluminum-bodied RA301 which had been developed by the existing Honda team and British Lola Cars. It would only appear in one race,〔 the 1968 French Grand Prix at Rouen-Les-Essarts,〔 driven by Jo Schlesser.〔 Schlesser was chosen to drive the RA302 because normal Honda driver John Surtees (who was the world champion) refused to drive it as he deemed it to be unsafe and labelled it as a "potential deathtrap".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Honda RA302 )〕 This was proven on lap two of the Grand Prix; Schlesser crashed at the ''Virage des Six Frères'' section of the circuit and the car came to rest sideways against a bank.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tomica Honda RA 302: Review )〕 The magnesium-bodied Honda and 58 laps worth of fuel ignited instantly, killing Schlesser〔 and destroying the original RA302.〔 A second RA302 was built,〔 with slight modifications, earmarked for Surtees to drive at the next race,〔 but when Surtees again refused to drive it,〔 Honda decided to pull out of Grand Prix racing〔 and did not return as a constructor until the 2006 Formula One season with the Honda RA106.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Honda RA301 - Surtees )〕 In 2012, the RA302 intended for Surtees at the Italian Grand Prix was on display at the Honda Collection Hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Honda Collection Hall, HONDA RA302 )〕 ==Formula One World Championship results== (key) (results in bold indicate pole position; results in ''italics'' indicate fastest lap) * All 14 points scored by Honda RA301 entries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honda RA302」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
