 Honda Y2K: The Rising Sun Rises Again
It is ironic, given the relatively disappointing 1966 season Honda had, that the quasi-Honda cars of that era are in a sense immortalized in the movie "Grand Prix", which was filmed by John Frankheimer during the 1966 Formula One season, when Honda in actuality only competed in three races.
The 1965 Grand Prix of Mexico (and the movie "Grand Prix") turned out to be the high water mark for Honda as a manufacturer of a Formula One car.
So Y2K should be an exciting year in Formula One, a virtual re-enactment of "Grand Prix", with the upstart Japanese team attempting to break the stranglehold of the Italian/English Powers That Be, exemplified by Ferrari on the one hand and the McLaren/Williams teams on the other.

That was also the year that the first World Championship Mexican Grand Prix was to be held in Mexico City, and having heard about the event, Dochnal decided that he wanted to enter it.
