    Zengo Motorsport – Honda Civic
    Norbert Michelisz (HUN)

    I don’t think the Zengo-Honda tie-up has been on any news websites yet, just the Zengo Motorsport website.

    Translated from Hungarian, the basics are they will be a single car entry for Norbi and will not be eligible for the Yokohama trophy due to the Honda factory support. The lack of the development of the BMW was a reason for the switch, the teams rely entirely on the manufacturers providing updates which they can’t do themselves due to the cost. The S2000 regulations are after all a watered down version of the old Super Touring regs. The factory tie up might also mean they get the 2014 updates provided for them for the new regulations. Bigger tyres, bigger bodywork and more aero; where have I seen that before, Mr Gow?
