Track test: Triumph Thruxton R

Track test: Triumph Thruxton R

  In company like this, it’s hard to stand out. In company like this, it’s hard to stand one’s ground. Heck, in company like this, I’d have been trembling and most likely had a little puddle growing near my feet. Why?

Probably The Most Fun I've Had In A Front Wheel Drive Car

Honda Civic Type-R Track Test

Below you can see me testing the car on track, although my driving is very amateur, the memories of great fun at the wheel flood back to me when I watch it back.  The CTR is such a fantastic car for driving enjoyment and I can’t wait to test the car on the roads in the UK.

The previous generations of the Honda Civic Type R have been exceptionally good cars, and Honda have now absolutely smashed the benchmark with the latest generation of the car. The car is blisteringly fast, highly equipped, very practical and has a very unique look.  But more than anything, Honda have been very true to the racing heritage of their brand and achieved a brilliant performance car with proper track credentials.
