Cyan Racing will start a brand new chapter together with Geely in 2026 through a multi-year cooperation, designing and constructing the all-new Geely Preface TCR race car to compete in the FIA TCR World Tour.
“Today marks a key milestone for Cyan Racing and we are delighted to evolve our successful and longstanding cooperation with Geely,” said Christian Dahl, founder and owner of Cyan Racing.
“The fact that we will start our 30th consecutive year of automotive manufacturer cooperation is deeply motivating for all members of Cyan Racing, as we embark the journey with Geely to once again challenge the world’s best in touring car racing.”
The new cooperation marks Cyan Racing’s 30th consecutive year of automotive manufacturer cooperation, a journey which began in 1996 with Volvo Cars, followed by Polestar in 2015, Lynk & Co in 2018 and Geely from 2026.
As one of the world’s most successful touring car racing teams, Cyan Racing has since 1996 claimed 19 Scandinavian titles and 12 world titles, most recently the 2025 FIA TCR World Tour drivers’ and teams’ titles.
“This is a thoroughly inspiring and challenging project to tackle, adding to Cyan Racing’s proud history of successful in-house developed race cars such as the Volvo S60 TC1,” said Fredrik Wahlén, CEO and Team Manager of Cyan Racing.
“We have already started design and construction of the new Geely Preface TCR race car at our headquarters in Sweden. We have a tight schedule which is proceeding according to plan and our aim is for the first Geely Preface TCR to make its track debut at the beginning of the new year.”
The public reveal and first on-track test with the new race car is scheduled for early 2026 ahead of its racing debut in the 2026 FIA TCR World Tour season, with a finalised calendar set for reveal in December this year.
The identity and number of Geely Cyan Racing drivers will be revealed in due course.
