Lead driver (and current BTCC Drivers’ Champion) Matt Neal was in a positive mood, saying, “It will be interesting to see how the car performs, but I’m optimistic that we’ll walk away from today confident we have a championship winning car.”

His team-mate, Gordon Shedden, added, “The feedback on the new Civic NGTC car so far is incredibly promising and I’ve been itching to get into the car since the end of the 2011 season.”
