N.Technology's development programme
concluded on a high today at the Circuito Ricardo Tormo, Valencia in Spain with
driver James Thompson posting the afternoon's fastest lap.
Taking part in its first official
FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) test with the Honda Accord Euro R
Super 2000, developed together with JAS Motorsport, the N.Technology team made
steady progress throughout the two-day testing session as Thompson explained:
"This
week's trackside work has been really encouraging," said the British driver who
completed 83 laps today. "There are a few things that will need working on back
at the factory, but otherwise we're really pleased with our
progress.
"The
team's dedicated spirit really helped towards doing so well today; a lot of
thinking has gone on over the past two days to ensure we are at our most
competitive for next month's races in Valencia."
The
N.Technology team now looks to its racing debut on 17-18 May at the Spanish
track of Valencia.
