Boardman, who scored the most points in the cup’s second race meeting at Pau, will drive the SEAT León TFSI run by SUNRED Engineering Development at Estoril; he succeeds the Spaniard Oscar Nogués who took part in the WTCC event at Pau after emerging as the best Eurocup driver in Valencia.
In spite of his young age, Boardman boasts an impressive racing career with saloon cars. From 2000 to 2003 he raced in the British National Saloon and Touring Car Championships, claiming seven race wins and a fifth place in Production Class in the 2003 BTCC. Afterwards he switched to SEAT trophies, winning the 2005 British Cupra Cup and finishing third in the 2006 Spanish Supercópa.
