About the Honda RA273
In 1966, Formula 1
regulations were changed and indicated a move from cars with 1.5 liter engines
to those with 3 liters. Having finally tasted success with the 1.5 liter RA272
the year before, the green Honda engineers unfortunately had to start from
scratch again, and the RA273 was not ready until the Italian GP in the Autumn of
1966. With Richie Ginther at the wheel, the car proved to be more powerful than
its competitors, and Ginther ended the season in a respectable fourth place.
After running through most of the 1967 season, the RA273 eventually gave way to
the much more improved RA300.
