Their return to racing has certainly not been that successful but then neither has any manufacturer who tried to build a car themselves, in the last twenty five years, with the sole exception of Ferrari. All other cars were built by those clever Poms. Similarly the Cart cars and WRC rally cars.
You cannot deny the success Honda enjoyed when they were last involved in F1 racing. Honda engines were considered the ticket to Grand Prix glory due to their power, reliability, and winning track record. Honda supplied its engines to six constructor champions, as well as five driver championships in a ten year period.
Their time may come again as a car constructor not just an engine supplier.
Remember their road cars used to have fantastic engines but really suck in the handling department. There is no argument they have sorted that. Witness James Toseland on a 600 trying to race a Civic Type R and getting toasted thru' the twisties.
Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.
