Honda Civic Type R ready for new asphalt challenge
The Honda Civic Type R run by JAS Motorsport faces a new challenge as it moves onto asphalt for round three of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, the Ypres Rally Belgium.
Drivers Dani Sola and Luca Betti made a promising debut with the car on the all-gravel Rally of Turkey last month, but the specialist asphalt roads of Belgium will mark another chapter in the new cars development particularly as the Honda drivers will be up against a wide variety of well-known local experts.
JAS ambitions will be officially supported by Pirelli, providing factory support and custom developed tyres to suit one of the most competitive front wheel drive rally cars.
Engine development will still be incooperation with GIANFA, continuing a long and well established partnership with Carlo and Giuliano Facetti which are the mainactors of the oustanding success of JAS-tuned Honda engines in the last 6 years.
