N.Technology Oschersleben test notes 2008-05-06

N.TECHNOLOGY READY TO START 2008 CAMPAIGN

N.Technology's preparations for the team's first outing in the 2008 FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) at Valencia on 17-18 May 2008 made good progress following today's WTCC official testing session at a dry and sunny Oschersleben, Germany, where the team recorded the third fastest time of the day

Testing the Honda Accord Euro R Super 2000, developed together with JAS Motorsport, the team mainly focused general shakedown processes with British driver James Thompson at the wheel.

"These two days at Oschersleben make up the last test before we race in the WTCC," said Thompson. "Each time, step by step, we progress towards being competitive at Valencia. There is definitely more development to the car and a lot more to come from it, but the potential of the car is great.

"We can't compare ourselves to other teams at the moment, we don't know how the others are testing but we look forward to Valencia to understand our real position. At the moment, we are optimistic and look to challenge the front of the field."
