In 1987, the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) revised its regulations in order to stop F1 machines from overheating in competition. In 1989, it was announced that they would ban the use of turbo engines, placing strict restrictions on the turbo engines that had been the mainstream until then. For this reason, while may teams adopted naturally aspirated engines in the 1988 F1 World Championship, McLaren Honda introduced the MP4/4 equipped with a turbo engine called RA168E that did not conflict with the restrictions. Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost were the drivers; this highly successful vehicle won 15 out of 16 races and enabled Ayrton Senna to win his first driver's title.
