Honda's 2014 Civic WTCC shines in first test

Honda has released images of its 2014 Civic WTCC works car, taken during its first test session in Aragon, Northern Spain earlier this year.

The design of the new look Civic WTCC reflects the latest technical regulations for the FIA WTCC and shows the subtle style of the wheel arch extensions, larger diameter wheels, sleeker aero package and extended rear spoiler.

"Honda has achieved four victories and captured the manufacturer's title last season in the FIA World Touring Car Championship, the WTCC, which was our first year of full-participation. In this season, we will strive to win the double title for driver's and manufacturer's with a total of four machines including a works team and two private teams," the President and CEO of Honda Motor Co Ltd said last week.

Under the banner of the 'Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team', Honda will enter two works cars in 2014, driven by Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro and run by J.A.S. Motorsport.
