Boschung scored further points in the feature races at Silverstone and Hungaroring in the following two events.

However, after the pair of races at the Hockenheimring, where the Swiss driver didn’t score any points, he was replaced for the round at Spa-Francorchamps by Niko Kari, with the team citing financial reasons.

Boschung was set for a top 3 qualifying finish at the Hungaroring, but problems left him 14th on the grid.
