Honda Civic Type-R To Make GB Rally Debut

JAS Motorsport’s Honda Civic Type R R3 rally car will make its GB debut on the Wales Rally this week (November 30 to December 2), the final round of the 2007 World Rally Championship. Former Junior World Champion Dani Sola will get behind the wheel in Great Britain as he did on the Catalunya Rally in Spain last month were he won the R3 class.

Dani Sola says: “Great Britain is one of my favorite gravel events because the stages really reward commitment. However, we are not underestimating the challenge ahead of us. As a team, we haven’t competed on gravel since July – and this new R3 car has never competed on gravel at all. Our mission will be to get the car to the finish and try to prove that we can be as competitive on gravel as we are on asphalt.” -Continued after the jump

Stefano Fini, JAS Motorsport’s chief engineer, added: “Our new R3 car is now on sale for our customers. The car is fully ready for any 2008 season, and we have already had a lot of interest from several different drivers and teams. We are confident that we will provide a competitive package for our customers, who will become valued members of the Honda family.”
