Honda entered Formula One as a constructor for the first time in the 1964 season at the German Grand Prix with Ronnie Bucknum at the wheel.
1965 saw the addition of Richie Ginther to the team, who scored Honda's first point at the Belgian Grand Prix, and Honda's first win at the Mexican Grand Prix.
1967 saw their next win at the Italian Grand Prix with John Surtees as their driver.
In 1968, Jo Schlesser was killed in a Honda RA302 at the French Grand Prix.
This racing tragedy, coupled with their commercial difficulties selling automobiles in the United States, prompted Honda to withdraw from all international motorsport that year.

After a learning year in 1965, Honda-powered Brabhams dominated the 1966 French Formula Two championship in the hands of Jack Brabham and Denny Hulme.
As there was no European Championship that season, this was the top F2 championship that year.
In the early 1980s Honda returned to F2, supplying engines to Ron Tauranac's Ralt team.
Tauranac had designed the Brabham cars for their earlier involvement.
They were again extremely successful.
In a related exercise, John Judd's Engine Developments company produced a turbo "Brabham-Honda" engine for use in IndyCar racing.
It won only one race, in 1988 for Bobby Rahal at Pocono.

Honda returned to Formula One in 1983, initially with another Formula Two partner, the Spirit team, before switching abruptly to Williams in 1984.
Between 1986 and 1991, Honda won six consecutive Formula One Constructors' Championships as an engine manufacturer, as well as five consecutive Drivers' Championships with Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.
Williams-Honda won the crown in 1986 and 1987.
Honda switched allegiance to McLaren in 1988, and then won the title in 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991.
Honda withdrew from Formula One at the end of 1992, although the related Mugen company maintained a presence up to the end of 2000, winning four races with Ligier and Jordan.

Honda debuted in the CART IndyCar World Series as a works supplier in 1994.
The engines were far from competitive at first, but after development, the company won six consecutive drivers' championships and four manufacturers' championships between 1996 and 2001.
In 2003, Honda transferred its effort to the IRL IndyCar Series with Ilmor supporting HPD.
In 2004, Honda-powered cars overwhelmingly dominated the IndyCar Series, winning 14 of 16 IndyCar races, including the Indianapolis 500, and claimed the IndyCar Series Manufacturers' Championship, Drivers' Championship and Rookie of the Year titles.
From 2006 to 2011, Honda was the lone engine supplier for the IndyCar Series, including the Indianapolis 500.
In the 2006 Indianapolis 500, for the first time in Indianapolis 500 history, the race was run without a single engine problem.
Since 2012, HPD has constructed turbocharged V6 engines for its IndyCar effort, winning four Indianapolis 500s, two manufacturers' championships and two drivers' championships.

During 1998, Honda considered returning to Formula One with their own team.
The project was aborted after the death of its technical director, Harvey Postlethwaite.
Honda instead came back as an official engine supplier to British American Racing (BAR), and briefly to Jordan Grand Prix.
Together BAR and Honda achieved 15 podium finishes and second place in the 2004 constructors' championship.
Honda bought a stake in the BAR team in 2004 before buying the team outright at the end of 2005, becoming a constructor for the first time since the 1960s.
Honda won the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix with driver Jenson Button.
Honda announced in December 2008, that it would be exiting Formula One with immediate effect due to the 2008 global economic crisis.

Honda has competed in the British Touring Car Championship since 1995, though not always as a works team.
They have achieved over 170 race victories, seven drivers' championships, five manufacturers' championships and seven teams' championships, ranking second with most wins in the series.
Honda also won the World Touring Car Championship in 2013.
