RealTime Racing has entered the brand new TCR category of the Pirelli World Challenge with a pair of Honda Civic Type R TCR cars.
The team has already clinched eleven World Challenge Drivers’ Championships in the Touring Car divisions between 1993 and 2009, always with Honda cars.
“RealTime has a long history of success in production-based cars, so we are looking forward to joining what looks to be serious competition as the TCR cars go head-to-head in America for the first time this season,” team owner Peter Cunningham said. “After developing and racing the Acura NSX GT3, we had hoped to continue with a customer program in GT, but when the opportunity with the Honda Civic Type R presented itself, the move made sense and we are very happy to join the fray of this growing worldwide category.”
Ryan Eversley returns for his fourth season with RealTime. He will drive the No. 43 Civic, his teammate will be announced in the coming days. “I’m very happy to continue my relationship with RealTime Racing and Honda Performance Development,” Eversley said. “If you look at RealTime’s history, they’ve had tremendous success with front-wheel drive touring cars, so being able to race one for them is what I’ve dreamed about when I started out as a racecar driver. It’s very exciting.”
