Throughout the European rounds, the team competed at Misano, Ricardo Tormo, Paul
Ricard and Vila Real, facing a wide range of track challenges, from flat-out sections
and long high-speed sections to technical corners. The Geely Preface TCR proved 
highly competitive across different circuits, supported by its self-developed chassis,
suspension system and powertrain, with Geely Cyan Racing holding a 56-point lead
in the Teams’ Championship standings. Santiago Urrutia tops the Drivers’ Championship,
while Yann Ehrlacher is fourth. Thed Björk and Ma Qinghua rank sixth and seventh
respectively. Through motorsport competition, the team continues to demonstrate 
Geely’s engineering capabilities and further support its global development.

Beyond the racetrack, Geely’s global expansion continues to accelerate. In the first
half of 2026, Geely achieved global sales of 1,100,373 units. Within just 45 days,
the brand entered seven European markets, including Germany, Spain, the Netherlands
and France. Meanwhile, the Geely STARRAY EM-i became Australia’s best-selling PHEV
SUV in May. Underpinning this momentum are Geely’s integrated global capabilities
across R&D, products, services and brand development. Backed by a diverse portfolio
of sedans and SUVs, five testing regions across Asia, Europe and beyond, and five
engineering R&D centres in China, Europe and Malaysia, Geely continues to advance
localisation and technology development. Additionally, Geely’s global customer initiatives,
including GEEL•GO and GEELY Care+, strengthen brand trust. International awards 
such as the Automotive News PACE Award and the Red Dot Product Design Award further
reinforce the brand’s influence. Together, these efforts support Geely’s global 
growth.

The 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour will come to China this October. The series will
head to Chengdu and Zhuzhou before concluding with the season finale in Macau. Bringing
valuable experience from its European rounds, Geely Cyan Racing will compete on 
Chinese circuits and continue to strengthen Geely’s global motorsport presence. 
The team will also showcase its engineering capabilities on tracks.
