Honda leaves BTCC.
Honda has announced that it is withdrawing from the British Touring Car Championship.
William de Brackleer, Europe's Motorsport manager for Honda said: "With the imminent changes in the technical regulations we think the time is right to take a break"
He added: "It is sad to leave the BTCC, but it does not mean the end of our support for British Motorsport."
Honda entered the BTCC in 1995 and have won 21 victories in their British built Accord. They have also been runners-up in the manufactuers championship for the last two years.

The move by the Japanese company mirrors that of Ford last month. Only Vauxhall and Peugeot will compete in the series next year.
