In a year that has seen both Matt Neal and Dan Cammish make headlines at the wheel of the new Civic Type R having now accumulated multiple wins, podiums and pole positions - most recently a maiden pole for rookie racer Cammish at Knockhill - the pair head to Silverstone in high spirits and with their eye on yet more silverware.

Indeed, despite mixed fortunes for the Halfords Yuasa Racing team last time out in Scotland, the notoriously competitive nature of the BTCC means there remains everything to play for in the drivers', teams' and manufacturers' championships, while Cammish maintains a comfortable advantage in the Jack Sears Trophy.

For Neal, the penultimate round of the season will see his Civic Type R shed a sizeable portion of its ballast, a benefit the three-time BTCC champion believes gives him a fine chance of repeating his victory for Honda at Silverstone 12 months ago. After complementing his qualifying milestone with a brace of podiums come race day in Scotland, the in-form Cammish too has high hopes the Civic Type R will be well suited to the flat, sweeping curves of the legendary Silverstone Northamptonshire venue.
