rFactor 2 – BTCC Honda Civic previews and release announcement.

 

Image Space incorporated posted a new set of previews  showing us the BTCC Honda Yuasa Civic soon to be released for the rFactor 2 racing sim.
The car is announced to be released pretty soon now. A Christmas release was not possible, but the ISI team stated that the Honda will surely see the track during the holidays.

The BTCC Honda racer will bring some bumper to bumper racing to rFactor 2 installation. Lets hope we get a good touring car competitor for the car in the future.
The Honda Civic will sport ‘sponsorship’ from the RAF Benevolent Fund on two A.I. cars when released.
