Honda has unveiled the first images of the livery which will adorn the new Civic for the 2014 World Touring Car Championship, which sees continued backing from Castrol.
The team enter their second full season in the WTCC with a similar livery to 2013. It is the first time the new livery has appeared on the car, with the team running a black-and-white camouflage livery during testing to attempt to hide the aerodynamic design of the new car.
Castrol’s Global Sponsorship Manager Donal Smith said: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Honda, after a first successful season in the FIA WTCC with Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro.
“For us, there is something special about the coming together of two brands with such rich and successful racing pedigrees. The new livery looks absolutely fantastic, with Castrol and Honda once again sharing the red and the white!”
The team will continue to be sponsored by Brose, who have been a long-term supporter of Portugese racer Tiago Monteiro.
“Brose is really pleased to continue its support not only of Honda, but of Tiago Monteiro, whom we have a long term relationship with,” said Thomas Spangler, President of Brose Asia. “The team’s performance last year exceeded all our expectations and we can’t wait for the excitement and thrill of this season to start.
“We’re sure it will be another memorable year and are very proud to be supporting them as they look to build on their achievements in 2013.”
