Honda Civic Tourer to compete in the BTCC
Next year’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is going to see a couple of estate cars on the grid.
In a move which echoes TWR’s decision to run the Volvo 850 wagon during the 1994 season, the works Honda Yuasa Racing team will be fielding the brand new Civic Tourer in 2014.
Compared to the Civic hatchback, the Tourer has the same weight and wheelbase but the rear bodywork is slightly longer. It remains to be seen how the car’s lap times are affected by the change in aerodynamics and potentially different handling balance.
The first race of the 2014 BTCC takes place on the 30th of March at Brands Hatch.
