Civic Type R Limited Edition is WTCR Safety Car for third year in a row

Honda will provide the Civic Type R Limited Edition as the Official Safety Car of the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup for a third successive season in 2022. This extended commitment keeps Honda at the forefront of safety and competition in the WTCR, with its customer racing teams ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport and LIQUI MOLY Team Engstler beginning their 2022 campaigns on the streets of Pau this weekend.

A pure version of the iconic hatchback, it was developed with on-track performance as the primary focus — in keeping with Type R tradition. The Civic Type R Limited Edition WTCR Safety Car will run in the same livery that it has for the past two years.

It is based around the Sunlight Yellow colour in which the front-wheel drive hatchback was made available to customers and produced by Belgian artist Vanuf, the designer of a number of official liveries for Honda's touring car programmes.
