Not really a surprise.

Should be strong when they do arrive but really the championship for N-Tech is over before its started so chasing race victories appears the option.

Suprised its taking so long as they do have a base car to work with rather than having to build it from scratch as Team Dynamics in 07.

They talk a lot in Denmark, but rumers say that Thommo and N-tech will drive with Hartmann, some races in DTC?? Can anybody confirm.
It sure cut be nice, the DTC organisation think they are the worlds greatest, and I think that Thommo can put that, in another perspektiv.

[JMeissner]

Its no rumors - its confirmed with Thompson in DTC:

Since this thread has little to do with the Mexico race, have renamed to it's actual topic.

However, since the Thompson/DTC topic is related more to the DTC Off-Season thread, please post further comments on this there, and keep this to N-Technology.

Thanks

I wouldn't count out neither the N-Tech/Honda nor Thompson because they get into the fray 2 races late. After all, not sure they would score very big on 2 high altitude races in a non finished car. Might as well save all the travelling costs and spend it on improving reliability and speed of the car for the rest of the season.

i am anxious to see andre couto driving these hondas at macau. two years ago giovanardi made me feel nuts with his performance. they look like they handle like a truck. macau has a legion of honda fans and andre couto is always the best guest driver of wtcc at guia circuit.

Im not sure Couto would be recalled after his crash last year and failing to make the race, didn't go down very well from what I hear and of course N-Tech only have 1 car this year.

I remember Giovanardi being very fast around the track. Unfortunately, the traction of the Honda out of the Melco-hairpin was not so good, so overtaking on the long straight was very hard against the BMW's.
