This is part of the Honda Dreams series... pretty decent even though I remember Honda as one of the most "shy" companies about it's mistakes in the past, at least in public, but they apparently had the proper engineering / scientific methodology at heart behind the scenes:

This is based upon there foray into Indy Car racing, circa 1994, featuring the team stories including Danica Patrick's blazing crash.

"Failure. The mere thought can paralyze even the most heroic thinkers and keep great ideas off the drawing board. But is failing really that bad? We get an inside look at the mishaps of Honda racers, designers and engineers to learn how they draw upon failure to motivate them to succeed. From poor color choices to blown race engines, these risk-taking individuals provide an honest look at what most people fear most. Watch the film and discover the upside of failure."
