N.TECHNOLOGY ALFA ROMEO LEADING THE WAY ON RACE WINS

Media information, 8 June 2007

If the FIA World Touring Car Championship was decided on race wins alone, N.Technology Alfa Romeo’s James Thompson would be leading the title chase going into next weekend’s rounds at Brno.

The 33-year-old Briton is one of only three drivers to take two victories so far this season, and the only one to have done so in one weekend after a stunning performance in Valencia, Spain, last month.Following a less encouraging round at Pau, France on 3 June, in which his weekend was frustrated at the outset by a puncture in qualifying, Thompson is now optimistic of better results in next weekend’s Czech Republic racing.
