"Honda" Integra Type R

Does anyone know if Honda (Acura) Integra Type R will compete in BTCC next year?

It may sound stupid but I heard a rumor

Sorry Honda Woman 2k, It was stupid, what was I thinking, competitive Type R's!!

The Honda Type R has already been homologated as a SP car. HOWEVER, I hope the new organizers will require an entry to be SP homologated AND a FOUR door sedan.

I don't want the BTCC going back to old days of mixing sedans/coupes together. That would be a real waste.

Here is a list of the competitors for the BTCC this year. There are new models which are allowed to run in Class B.

No 2000 ENTRY LIST Car
3 Rickard Rydell Ford Mondeo
4 James Thompson Honda Accord
5 Jason Plato Vauxhall Vectra
6 Yvan Muller Vauxhall Vectra
8 Vincent Radermecker Vauxhall Vectra
9 Matt Neal * Nissan Primera
11 Alain Menu Ford Mondeo
12 Anthony Reid Ford Mondeo
18 Gabriele Tarquini Honda Accord
45 Colin Blair * Nissan Primera
77 Tom Kristensen Honda Accord
99 Lee Brookes * TBA
* = Independent
CLASS B
13 Alan Morrison Peugeot 306 GTi
16 Tom Ferrier Alfa Romeo 156
20 Marc Nordon Nissan Primera
21 Robert Collard Nissan Primera
23 Mark Lemmer Honda Integra R
33 James Kaye Honda Accord
43 Richard Cuene-Grandidier Proton Compact GTi
44 Gavin Pyper Alfa Romeo 156
48 Nick James Honda Integra R
69 David Pitcher Honda Integra R

Yeah, forgot about the details, an Integra Type R will race in the BTCC, but at the class B level. Hopefully, BMP will not move to allow Integras to race next year in the top BTCC class whatever it may be.

A couple of Type R's are proving very competitive in GT-P Class B (formerly Class S) here in Oz.

The Integra Type-R is available as a 4 door sedan. A super touring version of that would look damn kool!

sadly, I don't know of a single 4 door Type R being raced anywhere in the world. It's always the coupe. It seems Honda would rather push the Type R Accord rather than Integra Type R sedan.
