Unfortunately not...there were too many people crowding around it to get a good exterior pic.

Again not to nit-pick, but the Honda Motor Co. never actually made V8 engines for grand prix cars. Their current cars use 3.0L V10s, whilst turbocharged V6s, V10s and V12s were fitted to the McLarens of the Senna era in the late '80's-early '90s. And during Honda's first entry into Formula 1 in the 1960's, they only used V12 motors for their cars.

[However, Honda does in fact build V8 engines (with turbo's I believe) for their Indy/CART Champ Cars and have been for several years. And also, a French backed Honda team did infact enter a single V8 powered car in the 1968 French Grand Prix piloted by Jo Schlesser --but that was only for that one race, and is more of a aberration than anything else.]

Thanks. I'm sure I did. I regret not being able to get a full picture of the M5 though - that'll have to wait to the CIAS.

My bad, you're right, I forgot that F1s really never used V8s. And yes, Honda was running in Target's and other Champ Cars, but CART got rid of that, and they're running strictly Ford Cosworth Engines now, to level the playing field (good for competition imo). But yeah, no more Hondas in Champ cars, and yes, they were boosted 2.65L I believe. As for the strictly Oval/Superspeedway IRL, I think teams have a choice between 3L Chevy, Honda or Toyota v8s (they're N/A though)
