Honda will besiege the Goodwood Festival of Speed with the 2012 BTCC Civic driven by Matt Neal and Gordon 'Flash' Shedden who will have set a time at the beginning of the weekend.
To encourage visitors to take part in the racing action, the Japanese automaker has also set up a race between ride-on lawn mowers and navigate a mini British Touring Car Civic around a scale version of the iconic Goodwood Hill Climb. The circuit will only be 20 meters long and you’ll be able to go head-to-head against your friends there.
Goodwood will also provide the perfect venue to unveil the Civic MUGEN Concept based on the 2012 Honda Civic hatch which the automaker is pinning its hopes on in Europe.

“This Concept highlights the magic the MUGEN Euro team can weave and hints at what a production Civic MUGEN could look like. The concept will sit alongside Gordon Shedden’s BTCC racing Civic, the 2012 Samsung Honda Fireblade and James Toseland’s 2007 championship winning Ten Kate Honda Fireblade,” Honda says.
