My Favorite Racecar – 2005 BTCC Honda Integra Type R

Steve Natale

Racing Honda cars in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) is pretty special to me. I’ve won three BTCC titles and countless races with them. Of course, I hold my first British Touring Car Championship win quite close to my heart. It was at the wheel of the 2005 Integra Type R.

As Team Dynamics, we launched the car at the beginning of the 2005 season and I won two of the first three opening rounds of the BTCC series at Donington. I was rarely off of the podium during that championship-winning season. It was just a super fast car straight out of the box, and its reliability continued to give more as the season progressed. It’s some achievement for me to have been placed in a point-scoring position for every race that year and a confirmation of the consistency of the car.
