Honda has released the first visual of its 2014 World Touring Car
Championship challenger reflecting the all new technical regulations for
the FIA WTCC which will come into force next year.
The Honda
Civic WTCC render shows the 'subtle style of the wheel arch extensions,
larger diameter wheels, sleeker aero package and extended rear spoiler'.
Add all this to increased engine power and the 2014 Honda WTCC racer is
clearly an 'ambitious' car designed to retain Honda's Manufacturers
World Championship crown and enable its drivers to challenge for the
World Champion title.
Two works cars will be run by JAS
Motorsport for Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro next season with
further Civics to be entered by private outfits Zengo Motorsport and
Proteam Racing for Hungary's Norbert Michelisz and Moroccan Mehdi
Bennani respectively.
This announcement follows hot on the heels
of the recent unveiling of the new 2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car
Championship Civic Tourer racer, with Matt Neal and Gordon 'Flash'
Shedden confirmed as the Honda Yuasa Racing drivers for another season.
