Stefan Bostandjiev (Bulgarian: Стефан Бостанджиев; born 23 May 2004) is a Bulgarian and British racing driver who competes in the Eurocup-3 for Hitech TGR.

Born in London to a Bulgarian family, Bostandjiev debuted in sportscar racing in 2021, contesting ADAC GT4 Germany until 2023. He moved to the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe in 2024 with Iron Lynx. A switch to junior formulae in 2025 saw him debut in both the GB4 and GB3 Championships.

Career

[edit]

In 2021, Bostandjiev joined Overdrive Racing to make his debut in ADAC GT4 Germany alongside Pavel Lefterov.[2] In his maiden season in cars, he scored his first podium by finishing third at the Hockenheimring,[3] and then rounded out the season with second- and seventh-place finishes at the Nürburgring,[4] on his way to sixth overall and runner-up in the junior standings.[5]

In 2022, Bostandjiev returned to Overdrive Racing for his sophomore season in ADAC GT4 Germany.[6] At the penultimate round of the season at Sachsenring, Bostandjiev scored his season-best result of fifth in race two.[7]

In 2023, Bostandjiev competed in both ADAC GT4 Germany and GT4 European Series for Overdrive Racing, returning alongside Lefterov for the third season in a row.[8][9] In the former, Bostandjiev scored a best result of ninth, twice, at the Nürburgring round,[10][11] while in the latter, at Spa, he finished seventh in race one, which would turn out to be Bostandjiev's only points of the season.[12]

On October 23, 2023, Bostandjiev was featured in the film "The First Lap", which covered Overdrive Racing's three seasons in ADAC GT4 Germany.[13]

Following three years in GT4, Bostandjiev joined Iron Lynx to compete in the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe alongside Lefterov.[14] Scoring his only podium second time out at Imola,[15] Bostandjiev scored points six more times to round out the season seventh in points.[16] Near the end of 2024, Bostandjiev made a one-off appearance in the Italian GT Sprint Championship with Iron Lynx at Monza.[17] After retiring in race one, Bostandjiev finished fourth overall in race two and third in the Pro class.[18]

After testing GB3 machinery in early 2025, Bostandjiev joined Fortec Motorsport for the 2025 GB3 Championship.[19] Racing in only the first three rounds, Bostandjiev scored a best result of 14th in race one at Zandvoort before leaving the team ahead of the Hungaroring round.[20] In parallel, Bostandjiev also competed in the GB4 Championship for Pace Performance,[21] scoring a lone win at Silverstone and two more podiums to end the year 12th in points despite missing one round.[22]

Bostandjiev moved to Eurocup-3 in 2026 with Hitech TGR.[23] Starting the year in the three-round Spanish Winter Championship, Bostandjiev scored a lone win in the Jarama sprint, helping him end the winter 12th in points.[24]
