rFactor 2 – Is the 2013 BTCC YUASA HONDA Civic coming to rF2?


 

 

  
 

While browsing the Image Space Incorporated rFactor 2 forum an interesting discussion caught my eye.
rFactor 2 forum member maniac618 posted some interesting news.
I may state however, that at this point it may all be nothing more then speculation.

According to the post, the next and much talked about touring car licence might be the 2013 BTCC YUASA HONDA CIVIC.
Maniac618 had a discussion with one of the YUASA team members about bringing their car to the rFactor 2 simulator. In this conversation it becomes clear that the team already where in contact with ISI.

As stated before, this might just be a coincidence, or nothing but a rumour. If not , many rF2 fans will probably get really exited about the BTCC car coming to rF2.
