Back in December, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> Yuasa Racing <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/03/honda-civic-tourer-btcc-wagon-revealed/">gave us one image</a> of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/honda+civic+tourer/">Civic Tourer</a> entrant it's fielding in the 2014 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/btcc/">British Touring Car Championship</a>. Thanks to media days at Brands Hatch and a few photos from Oulton Park, we've got a whole photo album of the elongated <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/civic/">Civic</a> that will attempt to continue Honda's BTCC winning ways and shots of drivers Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal.<br />

This is the first wagon to race in the BTCC since 1994, when Jan Lammers and Rickard Rydel had just one year to throw the <a href="http://www.volvotips.com/index.php/850-2/850-btcc/">Volvo 850 Estate BTCC</a> between the kerbing. The following year, the rules were changed so that rear wings couldn't extend above the roofline or beyond the rear bumper, which meant the end of Volvo's blue and white "pizza delivery wagon."<br />
<br />
The season begins on March 30 at Brands Hatch, when Shedden and Neal will begin trying to wrest the driver's championship crown from Pirtek Racing. We don't know anything more about the manufacturer entry go-fast Civic Tourer, however, which means this is just an easy feast for the eyes. Because racing wagon.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/19/honda-civic-tourer-btcc-photos/">Honda Tourer BTCC car lavished with photographic love</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 19 Mar 2014 15:33:00 EST.
