HONDA CIVIC WTCC RACE CAR
Honda shows off the new Civic WTCC Race Car
Honda showcases the new Civic WTCC Race Car with its racing engine, the HR412E at the Paris Motor Show. The car will compete in the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship.
For this project, Honda has formed a joint partnership with Mugen and J.A.S. Motorsport. Mugen will manufacture a bespoke racing engine developed by Honda R&D and will maintain the engine in every race along with the team.
J.A.S. Motorsport will develop the race car, using the new Honda Civic 5-door produced in Honda's manufacturing plant located in Swindon, UK.
Developed at Honda's R&D centre in Tochigi, Japan, the HR412E is a completely bespoke 1.6-litre 4 cylinder direct injection turbo-charged petrol engine, fully conforming to FIA regulations for the WTCC.
Commenting on the announcement, Daisuke Horiuchi, the WTCC Development Project Leader at Honda R&D said:
"In the continuous technological development of an internal combustion engine, the thermal efficiency is the essential key for improvement. And a race engine is not an exception. This HR412E was born from such thought process: aiming for higher efficiency.
The HR412E heralds a new generation of high performance racing engines from Honda. All engineers at the R&D centre in Tochigi have worked hard to develop a race engine that will deliver great driveability to our racing drivers, with no compromise on peak power performance.
We believe the innovations that have led to this revolutionary engine will also lead to benefits beyond the race track, helping us to further increase the efficiency of our road car engines."
The engine has been delivered to the J.A.S. Motorsport workshop in Milan, Italy, where the Civic WTCC is being developed, and successfully passed all initial tests.
The news follows the recent naming of Honda's works team drivers in the the FIA World Touring Car Championship - Italian Gabriele Tarquini and Portuguese Tiago Monteiro.
Honda will enter the WTCC as early as this season with one car. Behind the wheel of the Civic WTCC will be ex-Formula One driver Tiago Monteiro, who will compete in three races, starting at Suzuka in October 2012. Honda R&D and Mugen will provide trackside support to the team.
Both drivers will compete in the full FIA World Touring Car Championship in 2013.
Racing has always been a fundamental element of Honda's DNA . In the late 1950s Honda first entered the Isle of man T.T and then Formula 1 in the 1960s. The FIA WTCC is the next chapter in Honda's on-going commitment to world motor sport and provides a perfect platform to demonstrate its racing spirit to Honda's numerous fans around the world.
2013 Honda TT Legends - Trailer
TT LEGENDS: NEW PRIME-TIME DOCUMENTARY FOLLOWS ORDINARY MEN DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS ON MOTORBIKES
TT Legends is a new eight-part documentary, to be broadcast on ITV4, following a team of legendary motorcycle racers throughout the 2012 season. Gaucho Productions was granted exclusive access to the Honda TT Legends team as they took on some of the world's toughest 'bike races. From Japan to Germany and from Le Mans to the Isle of Man, the documentary follows these ordinary men doing extraordinary things.
John McGuinness, nicknamed the 'The Morecambe Missile', is an ex-bricklayer and mussel picker from the north of England who has won the legendary Isle of Man TT nineteen times. He is joined in the TT Legends team by Cameron Donald and Simon Andrews. Donald is Australia's fastest plumber and a two-time winner of the Isle of man TT. Andrews is a fearless young gun who was the fastest newcomer at the TT in 2011. Together they are the TT Legends.
The documentary goes 'behind the screens' as the team competes in the World Endurance Championship. The season kicks off with the famous Bol d'Or, a twenty-four hour race at the Magny Cours circuit in France. Then they're off to Doha, Germany and even Japan for the famous Suzuka 8-Hour before they return to France for the Le Mans 24-hour. Each race brings its own, distinct challenge for the team. In Suzuka, for example, we'll join McGuinness in an ice bath, a welcome antidote to the searing heat.
These circuit races are accompanied by legendary road races in Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. McGuinness is the man to beat on the roads with Donald and Andrews among his toughest rivals. Gaucho Productions were there to witness the contrast, as these friends and teammates now push each other to the limit and beyond.
Away from the races, the series will show the team as they relax away from the pressures of racing, learning what makes them tick and why these men are willing to risk everything to race on bumpy public roads at over 200mph. And you'll meet the families and friends who must cope with the stress of watching them race. Over eight, half-hour episodes, witness all the tears, tantrums and triumphs as this fascinating team enjoys an epic season.
Speaking about the series, Gaucho Production's Executive Producer, Alistair Weaver, said: "The TT Legends have a fascinating story to tell and we're delighted to have brought it to life. Our crews have travelled everywhere with them, from bullet trains in Japan to Cameron's makeshift motorhome in Northern Ireland. This series is an extraordinary tale of human will and endeavour played out at 200mph. ITV4 is a natural home for it and we're thrilled to be working with them."
John Claridge, Head of Programme Strategy, ITV4, said: "ITV4 has achieved great success with its coverage of the Isle of Man TT. The TT Legends series complements it beautifully. We're delighted to work with Gaucho Productions on a series that offering a fascinating insight into the riders and their lives. ITV4 has a rich heritage of producing exciting sports documentaries and this is no exception."
The eight-part series will debut on ITV4 at 20h30 on Monday 4th February, 2013.

Honda celebrates the start of New Civic Production and announces 500 new jobs as Swindon plant doubles production volume
Honda today starts the mass production of the New Civic as normal production resumes at its Swindon car plant, Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd (HUM), announcing the creation of 500 new jobs to meet a forecasted production increase in 2012.
Honda Motor Europe President Manabu Nishimae speaking at the ceremony said Honda remained totally committed to building cars and engines in Europe with Swindon at the heart of Honda's European manufacturing activities and this is further demonstrated today with the launch of the New Civic. He added that Honda in Europe had turned a corner with a significant production increase expected in 2012.
Announcing 500 new jobs, HUM Director, Andy Piatek said that Car Plant 2 would return to a two shift operation in the late Spring of next year creating a need for the new jobs in addition to the current 3,000 Associates. Recruitment will start immediately through HUM's dedicated website www.hondamanufacturingcareers.co.uk.
During his speech to Honda Associates, Honda Motor Europe President Mr Nishimae acknowledged the workforces' resilience, "The last three years have been extremely difficult for all of Honda's European operations. We have faced many challenges beginning with the economic downturn through to the two natural disasters in Japan and Thailand. Throughout this period Associates have remained committed and I am extremely proud of how they have responded to these challenges. We will build upon our new found strength and remain confident of our ability to achieve and succeed in the future."
Commenting on Honda's announcement, Prime Minister David Cameron said, "This is great news and a tremendous Boost to the workforce, the car industry and UK manufacturing. Honda is contributing to a real renaissance in the UK automotive industry, we have a highly skilled workforce and we continue to be at the forefront of new technology and development. Its success is of great importance to our economy and we are committed to do all that we can to see this vital industry grow and thrive."
Business Minister Mark Prisk added, "Today's announcement of the creation of 500 new jobs on the day that production started on the next generation of the Civic hatchback is a clear demonstration of Honda's continued commitment to the UK.
"It is a huge vote of confidence in the skills of the Swindon workforce and the current strength of the automotive sector. The decision reinforces the message that the UK remains a great place to manufacture high quality products."
Adding to the new Civic and the already successful Jazz, next year will see the mass production launch of the new European CR-V along with the production introduction of a small diesel engine also to be produced at Swindon. Production volume of cars for 2012 is forecast to double to 180,000 units.

Today, at his Paris Motor Show Press Conference, Honda's European President, Manabu Nishimae announced the addition of an all- new Civic 'wagon'- style model to the Honda range and confirmed the introduction of a new Civic Type R, for Europe, in 2015.
New Civic 'Wagon'
A new derivative of Honda's European Civic will be introduced in the form of a Civic 'wagon' model. A concept model will be shown next year.
Civic Type R for Europe
Thrilling, sporty products are part of Honda's DNA. In addition to the introduction of a new NSX, Honda has confirmed the development of an all-new Civic Type R for Europe. The Type R brand has a passionate following from Honda customers and the new model will again aim to set new standards in performance and handling. Developed specifically for the European market and with the application of technologies developed through Honda's participation in the World Touring Car Championships (WTCC), the all-new Type R will aim to become the fastest front-wheel-drive vehicle on the Nurburgring race course. This new model is scheduled for introduction in 2015.
1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine added to new European CR-V and Civic
Nishimae today announced that Honda's new 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel engine will be added to the recently launched European CR-V. This model will be introduced during 2013.
By the end of 2012, the 1.6 i-DTEC engine will be available on Honda's Civic model. Delivering class-leading CO2 emissions of 94g/km, the engine will enable the Civic to offer an exceptional balance of performance and economy. The lightest engine in its class and delivering 300 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm, the Civic will deliver an exceptional mix of sprightly performance, agile handling and low emissions.
This engine is the first from Honda's Earth Dreams Technology series which will see Honda renew all existing engines in Europe over the next 3 years.
European Civic races in WTCC from October 2012
The Civic WTCC car developed by Honda Racing Team JAS will make its debut at the Suzuka round in October. The racing machine has been tested by Gabriele Tarquini and will be driven by Tiago Monteiro. Honda are excited about our return to racing and will race the full season in 2013 with both the drivers.
New range of hybrid technologies
Honda firmly believes hybrid technology will play a critical role in the reduction of CO2 emissions. Honda will build on its hybrid expertise to introduce three new hybrid systems. Each system will possess unique characteristics and their deployment will reflect varying customer needs.
Firstly, Honda will further develop its lightweight and compact one-motor hybrid system with the aim of achieving No1 fuel economy among all hybrid vehicles. Improvements in motor output and battery performance and a newly developed transmission will help to extend the zero emission electric driving range.
Honda is also developing a new more powerful two-motor hybrid system for mid-size vehicles.
Finally, a highly efficient and high output 3-motor hybrid system, the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) will focus on driving performance. This technology will be applied to the new NSX.
Honda believes this range of new hybrid technologies will deliver unrivalled driving performance and fuel economy.
Next generation Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle for Europe
Honda considers fuel cell electric vehicles to be the ultimate environmentally-responsible technology and as such, has attempted to lead the industry in R&D and sales activity. The introduction of the FCX Clarity in 2008, demonstrated Honda's progress in this field. Starting in 2015, Honda will launch an all-new fuel cell electric model which will showcase the significant technological advancements and cost reductions that Honda has accomplished since the launch of the FCX Clarity in 2008. This model will be introduced to Japan, USA and Europe.

Honda Gears Up For Historic WTCC Race in Suzuka, Japan
[18-Oct-2012] Honda Racing Team JAS makes its debut in the FIA WTCC this week with a historic race at the Suzuka Circuit, Japan. Honda will enter one car - the Civic WTCC, powered by a bespoke 1.6 litre 4 cylinder direct injection turbo-charged petrol engine - driven by Portuguese driver Tiago Monteiro. Both car and team are fully prepared for the race, having completed testing in Europe this summer and at Sugo circuit in Japan earlier this week.
