I am a BAR-Honda fan (cause of Villeneuve and the fact that Honda is planning to buy it and rename it as Honda F1 Team) Sorta like Ferrari.
Yeah McLaren Honda was one of the most deadly cars in F1 history I think ... plus theyt had Senna behind the wheel.

Well they only fielded a works team (Engine and Chassis) once in mid 60's. They had one win in the 1966 Mexico GP.
The car was White with a red circle for the number. Looked like a Zero fighter.
In the 80's they provide engines for McLaren and I think Williams. They built very powerful engines and were very successful. Their F1 engines pioneered the VTEC concept.
Right now they provide engines for BAR and Jordan. They own a stake in BAR and were going to provide engines only for them for the 2001 season. But Eddie Jordan lobbied very hard, and got them to provide the Mugen-Hondas for Jordan.
Given the Japanese economic woes, I wonder if they'll buy out BAR and go for the full works effort. But who can say, afterall we'll see a full works Toyota effort next year.
