Boulbes competes in a tuned BMW M3 E93M, which produces around 1,200CV/BHP through its Chevrolet LSX376 engine, running on the GT Radial Champiro SX2 tyre.

An extreme performance summer tyre, The SX2 was developed for higher levels of traction, fast steering response and control in both dry and wet conditions.

He said: “We would like to thank, as we do every season, all of our sponsors and partners without whom this would not be possible.

“As our main sponsor, GT Radial and Doumerc Pneus International have supported us for more than 10 years by providing us with excellent quality tyres which allow us to perform so well on the tracks in France and across Europe.”
