Tom Boardman is one of the most popular and richest Racing Driver who was born on October 15, 1983 in England, United Kingdom. Tom Boardman (born 15 October 1983 in Forton, Lancashire) is the name of a British motor racing driver. His most notable accomplishment to this point has been winning the 2005 SEAT Cupra Championship for the Triple R team which he manages with his father, John who was an rallycross driver during the 1970s. He was a participant at the World Touring Car Championship on and off between 2008 and 2013.
Boardman was to become the youngest driver to ever be a part of BTCC when he entered his first Production Class of the 2001 with his family-owned Tom Boardman Racing team.
The following season he joined Peter Briggs’ Edenbridge Racing team, finishing 6th in the production class in a BMW (well behind team-mate Norman Simon), before joining John Batchelor’s Team Varta in 2003. Both years were trying with 2002 seeing him struggle with rear wheel drive and his 2003 blighted by his teams mistakes towards the end of the season which meant that, despite winning more races than any other driver, he would finish only fourth in the final class positions.
A late deal saw him enter the 2004 SEAT Cupra Challenge with backing from his father’s Special Tuning operation. At this time the series consisted of identical cars prepared by a single team and, despite a total lack of any pre- season testing, Boardman impressed many observers by shrugging off his previous reputation and demonstrating a new-found maturity. He would score a podium result first time out and a win at the second meeting. He was always up against it as many of the drivers were in their second season in the championship but he managed to stay in with a shout of championship victory right up to the final meeting of the year when a ‘do or die’ gamble on tyre choice saw him drop down to third position in the final standings.
In 2000, he purchased the Peugeot 306 that was waiting patiently until the day of his 16th birthday, to meet the regulations and regulations, he took part in the selected races in the National Saloons Championship. This was just one move away to being a part of the British Touring Car Championship and his debut at an age of just 16 led many to wonder the possibility of him being young.
