This is exciting news for F1 fans, Honda will be back in 2015 as the engine supplier to Mclaren. Will they be able to repeat the success of the 80's with the late Ayrton Senna?

Honda has confirmed that it will return to Formula 1 in 2015 as engine supplier to McLaren.

The Japanese manufacturer has not competed in F1 since shutting its works team at the end of 2008, but has decided to return as a result of the change to 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines.

Honda president Takanobu Ito said it was a "joint project with McLaren" and that the team will be renamed McLaren-Honda.

Honda has been known to have been in talks with McLaren for some time and has already made significant progress with its all-new 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 Formula 1 engine, working out of its R&D facility in Tochigi, Japan.

Here's some old school racing while we're at it. Back when they didn't take the safety car out for no reason. 1200hp in the rain on slicks, no driving aids, stick shift. :yikes:
