After the two successes of the Honda Civic in the "Type R Challenge 2018" on the circuits of Magny-Cours and Spa-Francorchamps, the high-performance sedan took a new time at the record lap of 2 minutes 31.32 second in the category of pull-ups ahead of the Silverstone Grand Prix race in the UK, beating the reference time set by the previous generation of Civic Type R at a similar challenge in 2016.
The Type R was piloted by Matt Neal, the three-time winner of the British Touring Car Championship, who is currently competing in the 2018 BTCC in a Honda Civic Type R for the Halfords Yuasa Racing Curie.
Demanding Tour of the Grand Tour Silverstone's 5.89 km long price includes fast lanes and high-speed corners, combined with more technical sections that require a car placement to the nearest millimeter. With its pure speed, generated by the VTEC TURBO 2.0-liter engine, the Civic Type R achieved exceptional performance and allowed Neal to exploit straight lines and accelerate quickly out of corners.
The new time of Silverstone Tour is the fourth fastest lap record by the new Honda Civic Type R. In April 2017, a development model was the fastest lap on a Nordschleife Nr. with a time of 7 minutes and 43.8 seconds. Then WTCR driver Esteban Guerrieri set a new record lap of 2 minutes 01.51 seconds on the GP circuit Magny-Cours in France, before Bertrand Baguette achieved a time of 2 minutes 53.72 seconds edge of the same Spa-Francorchamps car in Belgium.
