🇬🇧 Tom Boardman

Tom Boardman is a retired British driver who competed in single-seater touring cars at the entry-level professional level. He raced in the World Touring Car Championship for Special Tuning Racing across six seasons between 2008 and 2013, taking 62 starts in that series, and made a brief return to racing in the British Touring Car Championship in 2018 with AmD with AutoAid/RCIB Insurance Racing, though that stint lasted only 15 rounds before he was replaced mid-season.[1]

Boardman's primary career was in the World Touring Car Championship, where he spent most of his effort with a single small team. His final season in 2013 saw him finish 19th in the championship standings, the closest he came to a points finish across his indexed record. His regular opponents in that series included established professionals and former champions; he typically finished behind Yvan Muller, a four-time World Touring Car Champion, and Robert Huff, the 2012 series champion. Despite the strength of the grid, Boardman managed occasional victories over drivers who would go on to become established names in touring cars, including twice finishing ahead of Ash Sutton, who has since become a three-time BTCC champion.[2]
