Team Dynamics will then take the wraps off the 2017 Honda Civic Type-R, with further livery reveals following from Handy Motorsport and Matt Simpson.

Motorbase’s all-new Shredded Wheat livery is to be given it’s public debut on the opening morning of the show, where the remaining two drivers with the team will also be announced.

The morning will then be wrapped up with the unveiling of the WSR-run Pirtek Racing BMW 125i M Sport of Andrew Jordan.

With a number of other drivers in attendance, further news is also expected across the four days as teams finalise their plans for the year ahead.
