N.Technology concluded the first
test of its 2008 FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) contender today in
Valencia with driver James Thompson at the wheel of the Honda Accord Euro R
Super 2000.
“The
car has a good base,” said Thompson who finished third in the championship last
year. “This test was primarily used for the team and I to get to know the car
and that went well. We still have plenty of work to do before our racing season
starts of course but this was a starting point. It’s a work in progress!”
 N.Technology will be looking to
carry on last year’s end-of-season form, which saw Thompson score more points in
the second half of the season than any other driver in the championship.
“This
car is a totally different package from the 156,” added Thompson. “But the
challenge is similar in that we have to develop the car quickly to be
competitive. That’s something N.Technology are extremely good at though and the
Honda package as a starting point is good.”
“We
still have work to do but as a first test, things went well. The car has great
potential.”
