A full entry list for the 2016 BTCC

This year's British Touring Car Championship grid is set to consist of 32 drivers representing 11 different manufacturers.

The most significant change is Subaru's debut as a full works entry. Team BMR is going to run four examples of the Levorg GT, which in NGTC guise features rear-wheel drive and a Mountune-developed 2.0 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged boxer engine.

Halfords Yuasa Racing has added a third Honda Civic Type R for Andy Neate, but after just one season the Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing effort is defunct. Although Exocet AlcoSense Racing and its two Audi A4 contenders no longer appear on the roster, Rob Austin and Hunter Abbott have moved to Handy Motorsport and Power Maxed Racing respectively.

With no alterations to the calendar, the BTCC will once again comprise ten three-race events. The first of them takes place at Brands Hatch next Sunday, the 3rd of April.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any

Honda WSB team launch

Honda has unveiled its works team for the 2011 World Superbike championship . The announcement of Castrol as title sponsor means the return to a very familiar colour scheme for the pair of CBR1000RR Fireblade bikes, which will be ridden by Jonathan Rea and Ruben Xaus. As in recent years, Honda has entrusted Dutch concern Ten Kate Racing with running the factory WSB team. First thing on the Castrol Honda agenda is a two day testing session at the Motorland Aragón circuit in Spain later this week. The 2011 WSB season comprises thirteen rounds with Phillip Island, Australia hosting the opening race on 27 February.
