Honda BTCC title bid gains momentum as team heads to Croft

Honda British Touring Car Championship drivers Matt Neal and Dan Cammish head to Croft for the next three rounds of the series on 16 June, knowing that the fast circuit will pose big challenges.

After a rewarding weekend last time out at Thruxton, which saw Cammish twice put the Honda Civic Type R on the podium, the Halfords Yuasa Racing team will arrive in North Yorkshire at the head of both the BTCC Manufacturers' and Teams' championships.

Neal and Cammish are also moving up the Drivers' title chase, currently in fifth and eighth places with Neal just 17 points shy of the championship leader.

The former airfield track of Croft offers a unique combination of fast corners and a tricky complex section ending in a challenging hairpin bend, and has traditionally favoured rear-wheel drive cars, such as the BMWs of Honda's closest rivals in the series. But the Halfords Yuasa Racing Civic has also won seven times at the track since 2010, and the team is confident of another strong performance this year to consolidate its title bids.
