N.Technology will run a second car in Monza and Okayama for Japanese driver Yukinori Taniguchi following their successful World Touring Car Championship weekend in Imola.

James Thompson, who won Honda's first WTCC race in Italy, will be in the other Accord.

Taniguchi had his first test in the car, built in cooperation with JAS Motorsport, in Adria.

"We completed 62 laps on Wednesday and 92 on Thursday," said Taniguchi. "The test went very well and I am learning the car's limits and behaviour with every lap.

"The team is extremely professional and it is a pleasure to be working with them.

"Although I don't expect to match someone of James's calibre, who already holds so much touring car racing experience, I hope to be competitive in Monza for the team's home rounds and then in Okayama for my national race meeting."
