Thanks for that Daniel, I'm really looking forward to what Honda can bring to the table. And the sound of that motor coming out of the pits, didn't sound too much like a turbo motor, more like an NA B16! :)

Great to see Honda dip their toes back into a major international series!

BUT, im a little underwhelmed by the cars looks. THe concept picture looked stunning. This car however, with those tiny tires, seems like a whale!! I defintely prefer the BTCC version, especially the Pirtek racing scheme...absolute stunner and headturner.

Tyre size is dictated by the series regulations. And in truth I prefer the look of the WTCC cars over the silhouette BTCC cars :)

And as we all know, a proper race car is designed from the tires up! So it shouldn't be a problem.

Really liked the upshift crackle =D They're locking up the inside rear brake at times though, I guess since it's still Shakedown they'll dial that in.
