Nürburgring 500km 1967 - Honda S800 RSC #58
Added 2025-04-21 06:00:09 +0000 UTCFor AD3R's Honda S800 RSC. Older livery with new preview and vintage tires.
Japan's emerging post war racing interests grew more and more in the latter half of the 60's, with several manufacturers choosing to go international with their cars. Toyota ran their 2000GT's with Shelby in the SCCA, Hino Motors ran their Contessa in the SCCA a few years prior, becoming the first Japanese brand to officially send factory cars to the States. Honda, obviously a pioneer for Japanese racing cars in Formula 1, also decided to support RSC during their quest to take on the Nürburgring 500km in 1967. Chosen to drive was none other than former Prince factory driver & 1967 Japan GP winner Tetsu Ikuzawa.
Ikuzawa, never having raced at the Nürburgring before, somehow managed to win his class in the 500km race.
