Honda to enter the WTCC

This year’s FIA World Touring Car Championship will see another manufacturer joining the series.

Honda has confirmed that it’s developing a race car based on the brand new European-spec five-door Civic in collaboration with J.A.S. Motorsport and Mugen, which will be powered by a 1.6 litre turbo engine.

For the 2012 season, the team is planning a limited race programme that’ll include the final three rounds in Japan, China and Macau. Then, in 2013, two cars will be entered into every event.

The move to compete in the WTCC won’t affect Honda Team Dynamics’ participation in the British Touring Car Championship.
