Having finally tasted success with all the 1.5 liter RA272 the year before, the green Honda engineers unfortuitously must begin with scratch once again, and RA273 wasn't ready until the Italian GP into the Autumn of 1966. With Richie Ginther during the wheel, the car shown to be stronger than its rivals, and Ginther finished the growing season in a decent fourth destination. After running through all the 1967 period, the RA273 eventually offered way to the a great deal more improved RA300.
