Tom Boardman confirmed for SUNRED

By

Tom Boardman has confirmed the speculations we posted two days ago that he is going to take part in the FIA World Touring Car Championship 2009. The Brit is going to drive for team SUNRED.
“It all feels like a bit of a dream at the moment – I feel like the luckiest man alive. Racing in the WTCC has been my aim for some time now, and I feel my time has come to show everyone what I’m capable of,” said Boardman.

Last year Boardman dominated the SEAT Léon Supercopa series, taking six wins, three pole positions and eight fastest laps. His team mate in WTCC 2009 is going to be the experienced Tom Coronel.

“Tom Coronel did really well in the SUNRED Leon last year, and even won the second WTCC race in Japan outright. I think together we’ll make a very strong team and be able to challenge for the Independents’ titles in both the teams’ and drivers’ categories,” said Boardman.
