The ``RA272'' is Honda's second machine following the ``RA271'' in Honda's first period of F1 activity, in which the chassis and engine were all produced in-house, and the company entered the race as a full-works team from the 1964 season. This is a formula car developed for championship participation. The car body was significantly improved and lighter than the previous year's "RA271", and it was equipped with a horizontally mounted 1.5-liter liquid-cooled V-type 12-cylinder 48-valve DOHC engine, which was an ultra-high-revving engine at the time and produced over 230ps at 13,000 rpm. mounted. For tires, we have entered into a new contract with Goodyear, which began participating in F1 this year. The final race, the Mexican Grand Prix, will be held at an altitude of 2,200 meters, so we took precautions against the high altitude, including careful engine settings during pre-tests. Richie Ginther, who started from 3rd place in the qualifying round, ran all laps in the lead and achieved Honda's historic first victory in F1 in just 11 races since its debut. This was not only the last victory of the 1.5-liter F1 era, but also a memorable first F1 victory for both Ginther and Goodyear Tires. Auto Art realistically recreates monumental machines that shine in Japan's motor sports history based on careful research and a huge amount of materials. There are plenty of highlights such as the engine and suspension that can be viewed with the cowl removed. In addition to the regular version of car No. 11, we have modeled a total of 5 items: a model with a driver figure of Ginther, which is limited to 2,000 units worldwide, and car No. 12 of Bucknum, who finished 5th in the Mexican GP.
