For the first time since they joined the championship, James Thompson and his N.technology Honda Accord Euro R set the WTCC pace. ''''We had a very good day,'''' said Thompson. ''''We didn''t carry out as many laps as other teams because we were making big changes on the car between the runs but it was worth it. We take this result as a good representation of the progress we''re making. Step-by-step we will be back at the level we are used to competing at.''''
