Shedden, Neal for Honda Racing Team
Honda (UK) and Team Dynamics Motorsport have announced the Honda Racing Team driver line-up for its assault on the 2010 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
Two-time BTCC Champion Matt Neal will once again be partnered by Gordon ‘Flash’ Shedden – a reunion of the drivers who last competed together for Honda in 2007.
This year’s racing Civics will appear in ‘Championship White’, Honda’s traditional racing colour and that of the new Civic Type R MUGEN 200 cars.
Steve Neal, Team Dynamics Team Principal, said: "Team Dynamics and Honda have a huge heritage, it’s the brand with which we won back-to-back championships and it’s great to get the support of Honda (UK) which is backing a car that’s built in Britain."
BTCC fans will also have the chance to win a one-off Civic Type R MUGEN Concept car in a competition that will be running in participating Honda dealerships, at each BTCC round and on honda.co.uk/btcc from the start of the season.
Honda (UK) will be hosting special ‘Question of Motorsport Live’ events at Honda dealer showrooms near to each of the BTCC rounds on the Saturday evenings after qualifying. Former BTCC champion Tim Harvey will again be host, keeping charge of the two captains, Matt and Flash. The competition promises to be as fierce off the track as well as on, with the two drivers competing against each other in this fun test of their motor sport knowledge. For details of these events, visit honda.co.uk/btcc from 1 April.
The Honda Racing Team has also confirmed the support of Yuasa, a world leader in battery design and manufacture and the UK leader in aftermarket automotive, motorcycle and industrial batteries.
New website available from 1st April.
