Cyan Racing, which a few months ago announced the brand change for the 2026 FIA TCR World Tour season, has finally officially revealed the Geely Preface model, which will be part of the category with four vehicles, maintaining the group of drivers and engineering that contributed to Lynk & Co’s success in previous seasons.

Cyan Racing, which continues its collaboration with the Geely Group as a development team and launch customer, will compete as an official team with a star lineup of drivers: Thed Björk, Yann Ehrlacher, Santiago Urrutia, and Ma Qing Hua.
According to the brand, the Preface represents the next generation of design, engineering, and performance from Geely Auto. The incorporation of this model into international touring car racing reflects confidence in the product and a long-term commitment to motorsport and the FIA TCR World Tour as a platform to strengthen the brand among global consumers.
The weekend of May 8, 9, and 10 will mark the start of the world championship in Italy, at the Misano Circuit. Afterwards, it will visit Spain, France, and Portugal, to conclude the season with four competitions in the Middle East.
