1967 Honda RA300 F1 Car - 3.0L V12 Engine Sound!

[@davidovercash9039]

I saw this car at the 1967 US F1 GP at Watkins Glen, NY. It was the loudest, most musical car of them all. Most of the cars sounded like belt sanders. This car had such a beautiful note at speed. It was big, heavy and very fast, but a handful to drive, especially in the rain.

[@aqlize]

Oh wow thats really cool!

[@JollyRoger150]

I think it's paid off, their name is synonymous with quality engines, anyone who's owned Honda or at least driven them knows they are of the best on the planet.

Honda V-12 with a Lola chassis. Won the 1967 Italian Grand Prix which was it's first race.

A victory that was more than a bit shaded by Clark’s performance in the Lotus 49. Will we ever see another drive like that? I doubt it.

You're right! I may seems stupid but when everyone was on the stands watching the actual F1 race I was one of the few people walking around the F1 village where this Honda was displayed (first shots of the video). Stopped there to look at it for more than 15-20 minutes and took pictures of those headers/exhaust art XD Really marvellous

[@MrSpeedSix]

What a beautiful and good sounding racecar. "bella macchina"!

[@themisterblasterchannel]

I never got interested on old school F1 racing cars until i saw the RA300 with that brutal sound

[@geonerd]

Fuck the modern hybrid vacuum cleaners, THIS is a proper racing engine! It's not sonorous like the V16 of the era, and not a Rumble Monster like the V8s. This engine is different - it derives its power by shredding the fabric of the universe into a million tiny pieces. BRILLIANT!

[@johnfarrelly4753]

Noting like the sound of the Honda coming down the back straight at Watkins Glen with John Surtees driving. His down shift was later than anyone else's going into the carousel. If you on the loop, you would hear the squeal as it accelerated down the front straight behind you.

[@samjackson1818]

[@critics3055]

The Lola chassis is surprisingly good too, really on top, and power ratio is pretty fun. Introduced at the end of the season, why not more races win in 1967 & 1968 ?... Think it was the engine reliability problem : more power than others (up to 70 HP), higher rev but more problems. So Honda left F1 in 1968 for the next 38 years...

The sounds of these engines now live long and prosper in the current honda sport bikes 🙂

[@nigelrg1]

The car in this video has been RPM limited. Like other posters, I saw one in 1967?, driven by John Surtees at Silverstone. Its exhaust noise was unmistakable - it shrieked. Even the BRM 16-cylinder couldn't compete for sheer sound.

[@romanval69]

Interesting how Honda made the intake on the outer side while all the exhaust snakes out of V12's center "valley"- the complete opposite of everyone else. Still a beauty though.

[@stephanuhu963]

Not really. Look up images of the same season's 1967 Ferrari 312/67. As you'd expect, the Italians did a nicer job of the exhaust 'banana-bunch' from the inside of their V12, then painted them white. Magnificent!

Meh it's still just a 2.4. Probably wouldn't sound all that special anyway.

[@ethownzbh]

oh he meant the engine in the mp4/5? I was thinking of the ra109 chassis that honda made under wraps for the 2009 season but it ended up being the platform for the championship winning Brawn GP001 car. The RA109 concept did have a Honda designed 2.4 V8 but that ended up being replaced by a Mercedes 2.4 V8. The mp4/4 had the RA168E engine though.

[@identiticrisis]

You know, there's no on-board footage of this car easily available, if at all. What would it take to get a good recording, do you think? I've had reasonable results with an "action camera" and an external mic squirrelled away out of the wind on my motorbike. GoPros generally have issues with the mic picking up structural vibrations in whatever it is they're clamped to, and most others suffer wind noise, so the external / high(er) quality mic is almost a necessity. Unless you hide a sound recorder in there somewhere and find a way of synching its audio to the camera. When / if you get that high SPL "3D" microphone, onboard recordings would be amazing!!

[@geonerd]

Yea, the typical GoPro audio track is a rattling, plasticrap disaster. All it would take is a mid-range digital audio recorder (50 bucks or so), or a typical DSLR or video camera with uncompressed data recording and manually adjustable levels. Add a quality mic with a functional 'dead cat' to eliminate wind noise and you're in business.
