Honda has been granted a TOCA BTCC Licence on a "one-season loan" from the series organisers, in addition to the two TBLs it already possesses.
As such, the team will now get to field a third driver alongside its long-time regulars Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden, reigning series champion.
The other temporary TBL went to the Support Our Paras squad, which had two entries in 2015 but was stripped of one of them after failing to field a full line-up at Snetterton.
Meanwhile, an additional permanent entry has been granted to Speedworks Motorsport, who ran a one-car operation with Tom Ingram in 2015 but are now set to switch to two.
Their expansion is, seemingly, at the expense of Welch Motorsport, who have been downgraded to one TBL midway through last season when they withdrew their second car prior to Knockhill.
