Honda has just unveiled its all-new BTCC Civic Type R race car at Parcmotor Castellolí, in Spain. The car was built over the winter by Team Dynamics, and is now being tested by the Halfords Yuasa Racing team in a raw-looking form – the official 2018 livery won’t be unveiled until March 22. Getting behind the wheel will be triple BTCC champion Matt Neal and Dan Cammish.

Meanwhile, Halfords Yuasa Racing’s team manager, James Rodgers, feels that all the time spent in order to successfully transition to the new Civic Type R in the off-season has been worth it.


The FK8 race car will greet the crowd during the opening round of this year’s BTCC campaign at Brands Hatch on April 8, but not before more track tests are completed, at Brands Hatch as well as Donington Park.
