Boost Mobile and Garry Rogers Motorsport will join forces again to support Jordan Boys in the opening round of the 2022 Tasman S5000 Series.

It is a big boost for Boys in particular, as he last raced an S5000 at Hidden Valley in a one-off appearance for Vera Motorsport, where he scored a podium finish in the third race.

Boys joins Nathan Herne as the confirmed drivers at GRM for the opening round of the Tasman Series, and the youngster is looking forward to jumping back behind the wheel of the challenging open-wheelers.

“I really enjoy driving these cars and it’s been something I’ve worked very hard to get back into,” he said.

“The S5000 cars give you a true raw experience when you’re driving them and reminds me a bit of Go-Karts where you can feel every little thing and all the inputs.

“The cars are extremely fast and while they’re not as technical as some other categories they still look extremely cool.

“I really feel like I can go out there and win, I have street circuit experience and experience in the car so it’s a great combination and I think there’s no better person to go out there and put the Boost Mobile car up the front.

“I’ve sort of been annoying Barry for a while now trying to get another drive in the category so I have to give a massive thanks to Barry, Garry and the whole GRM team, plus Boost who are going to have a massive presence at the event.”

Jordan Boys will jump back behind the wheel of a S5000 car on the Gold Coast.

Boys will join the S5000 field fresh from competing in the 2022 Bathurst 1000 as a co-driver in Macauley Jones’ Brad Jones Racing Holden Commodore.

While trouble followed the #96 throughout the weekend, Boys showed enough pace and composure to impress across a number of sessions.

The fabled relationship between GRM and Boost Mobile started in 2019 when they teamed up to field two cars in that year’s Supercars Championship driven by Richie Stanaway and James Golding.

The partnership with GRM sees Boost Mobile double down on their presence at the famous Gold Coast race of which they are title sponsors.

GRM director Barry Rogers said Boys will be a good addition to the S5000 grid.

“We love the enthusiasm that the Boost Mobile operation, led by the effervescent Peter Adderton, have for Motorsport and in particular their support for young driver talent,” he said.

“Jordan Boys is a young driver that we have followed with great interest due to our high regard for Terry Wyhoon (Image Racing Team Owner), who gave Jordan his initial break.

“We are delighted to have Jordan racing for us on the Gold Coast.”

Boost Mobile general manager and chief marketing officer Jason Haynes said the S5000’s will be just one of the big attractions at Surfers Paradise.

“Boost Mobile is excited to support Jordan Boys in a Boost Mobile Bathurst 1000 wildcard inspired S5000 livery for this year’s Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500,” he said.

“For over 20 years Boost Mobile has been supporting Australian Motorsport and young upcoming drivers, we look forward to seeing Jordan take to the streets of the Gold Coast and enjoying the experience alongside all the fans.

“This year’s Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is going to be an event not to be missed. Supercars, S5000, Entertainment, FMX, Jet Pack shows and more.

“The Gold Coast is going to be the place to be this October 28th-30th.”
