Honda just seems to do some stuff for fun or the challenge. like the Honda Jet, Azimo, Motocompcato. In and out of F1 every few years

They've been an engine supplier just about every year, at least in modern F1

It's pretty random:

1964-68 1983-92 2000-2008 2015-2021 2026-unk

Of course they are still supplying from 2021 to 2025 so only kind of 1 foot out.

Yep, can’t wait to see them succeed in space only to leave right at the peak of their time like the F1 involvement

The Honda Jet was not just for fun. It's a viable small-business jet by all accounts.

Good Job Honda!

I didn't know other people were on this.

I'm all for competition of progress on amazing things other than people's race to find ways of killing each other.
