Two Japanese drivers join Engstler

By

Japanese drivers Yoshihiro Ito and Masaki Kano are going to drive the third car of Team Engstler in the two final races of the FIA World Touring Car Championship 2010.

The 33-year-old Ito is going to drive the car at Okayama in Japan, joining regular drivers Franz Engstler and Andrei Romanov.

The one year older Kano is going to take the wheel of the BMW 320si during the final race of the year at Macau. Kano has done three previous WTCC races, Okayama in 2008 and 2009 and Macau in 2008.

The Japanese duo tested for the team last week at Oschersleben as a preparation for the coming races.
