Honda RC100
The Honda RC100 (also known as Honda RC-F1 1.0X, chassis number RC1-203/1) was a prototype Formula One car built by engineers from Honda R&D Center, Tochigi, although not as an official project of Honda. The car was completed in 1993 and initially tested at Honda's Suzuka Circuit. Two more cars, known as RC101 (RC-F1 1.5X, chassis RC1B-101) and RC101B (RC-F1 2.0X, chassis RC2-001), were also built and tested before the project ended.
