Honda Civic Type R for racing circuits in 2018
JAS Motorsport will introduce the all-new Honda Civic Type R TCR to the touring car world for the 2018 motorsport season. The new car, which is based on the all-new 2017 road car launched this year, builds on the great success achieved by its predecessor since it debuted in TCR competition in 2015.
Key features include a brand-new exterior design and aerodynamic package to cut drag and improve downforce, an all-new multilink rear suspension and anti-rollbar system, an advanced Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and improved rollcage with the very latest FIA lifting device.
An ‘endurance’ version is also available for customers planning to contest championships such as the VLN and 24h Series with additional lighting, driver cooling and anti-lock braking available.
The new Civic Type R TCR continues a long and successful partnership between Honda and JAS Motorsport that began in 1998 and intensified when the Milan-based organisation was chosen to develop the first Civic Type R for grass-roots circuit racing and rallying in 2001.
Since then, JAS-developed Civics have helped Honda to become FIA World Touring Car Champions in 2013 and its partner teams to win the European Touring Car Cup, TCR Germany, Middle-East, Italy and Benelux series and the Macau Guia Race with the current Civic Type R TCR.
The new Civic Type R TCR will join the current list of 19 models and 300-plus cars eligible for TCR competition globally.
Delivery to customers is due to start on December 15 this year and the first 25 completed cars will be available for the start of the 2018 racing season, so interested parties are encouraged to contact JAS to avoid disappointment.
