O’Young joins Boardman at STR

Special Tuning Racing announced their driver line-up for the 2012 season.

WTCC regular Darryl O’Young will join Tom Boardman who returns to the world championship after two years.

The team will run two SEAT León cars powered by SEAT Sport’s new 1.6 litre turbo engine.

“I’m really looking forward to the new season. I have a lot of confidence in the car, as SEAT worked hard to develop the engine and STR have years of experience with them,” O’Young said.

Team principal John Boardman commented: “Darryl is an exceptional talent. He has raced all over the world and his experience speaks for itself. He will be a great asset for the team.”
