Honda still wants Team Dynamics for 2015 BTCC programme

The Japanese firm, which has taken the last three BTCC drivers' and four manufacturers' titles, has yet to confirm its 2015 BTCC programme.

But Honda UK MD Philip Crossman says the target is to carry on in the championship.

"It's a great series to be in," Crossman told AUTOSPORT. "We love the action and the coverage.

"It's our ambition to be in it, but we want to do it right, so we need to get the package in place.

"Our big challenge is 2015 is a seminal year for us.

"With cars, engines and gearboxes, we have about 11 launches - and we're back in F1."

Crossman believes remaining with Dynamics, which runs triple champion Matt Neal and 2012 title winner Gordon Shedden, is a strong option, despite the recent controversy surrounding turbo boost and the squad's suspended penalties.

"We run it purely as a PR function, not as a development operation, so we need to be with a professional team," added Crossman.

"The most straightforward thing would be to continue with Dynamics.

"We have a long history with them and have had a lot of success with Matt and Gordon.

"Changing teams and developing a new car would also probably wipe out next year [competitiveness-wise]."
