In the high-octane world of motorsport, the 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour is heating up. Geely Cyan Racing, having triumphed at the season opener in Misano, Italy, now gears up for the second round at Spain’s Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia.
This season marks a new chapter for Geely in international motorsport. Geely Cyan Racing inherits the championship DNA of the Lynk&Co 03 TCR program, which clinched nine world championship titles over seven seasons through Geely’s long partnership with Cyan Racing.
At the heart of their campaign is the all-new Geely Preface TCR, developed from Geely’s Compact Modular Architecture (CMA). It offers the performance, durability, and reliability needed for international touring car competition while staying connected to Geely’s production vehicles.
The strong debut in Misano validated the new car’s competitiveness and reliability, with multiple podium finishes and a fault-free performance. Valencia, however, presents a different test. The revised 3.1 km Ricardo Tormo Circuit, where the Preface TCR had its first public test this year, will be a demanding benchmark.加上比赛周末预计的高温，这将对车辆的热管理、轮胎性能、长途耐久性和整体稳定性提出更高要求。
Four accomplished drivers – Ma Qinghua, Thed Björk, Yann Ehrlacher, and Santiago Urrutia – will represent the team in Valencia, aiming to build on their Misano success.
Alongside the race cars, the Geely STARRAY EM-i serves as the championship’s official Safety Car and has a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, demonstrating the safety and reliability required for international motorsport operations.
The qualities proven on track underpin Geely’s global vehicle lineup. Motorsport serves as a validation platform that turns track-tested engineering into real-world customer benefits.
After Valencia, the tour continues to France, Portugal, South Korea, and China. Motorsport remains a key driver of innovation across Geely’s product portfolio, making racing experience translate into safer, more reliable, and more capable vehicles for global markets.
