 British Touring Car racer Lea Wood is aiming for regular points finishes after acquiring the ex-Andrew Jordan Vauxhall Vectra for this season.
Wood drove Team Wood Racing's Honda Integra in selected races last year. The ageing and ballasted car struggled in the dry, but Wood was able to finish seventh in the wet first race at Oulton Park.
He will now campaign the Vectra taken to sixth in the standings by Jordan, who also won the second Donington Park race in the turbocharged Eurotech-run machine.
"Moving up to that car will hopefully mean we'll be a bit more competitive," said Wood. "We're aiming for regular top 10s."
Wood will run an upgraded version of the Swindon-built NGTC engine.
"There's an update for it, so the engine should be strong," he added.
The squad hopes to start testing the car in the next couple of weeks.
Eurotech confirmed at the end of last season it will run new NGTC-specification Honda Civics in 2012.
