Chengdu, Sichuan, China, October 19, 2026 — On October 18, 2026, Geely Cyan Racing
secured two victories and five podium finishes at the Chengdu round of the 2026 
Kumho FIA TCR World Tour. The result, achieved as the championship made its first
stop in the Chinese mainland this season, strengthened the team’s 2026 campaign.

The 3.265-km Chengdu Tianfu International Circuit, featuring 19 corners and an anti-
clockwise layout, placed sustained pressure on braking, chassis balance and power
delivery. Across the weekend, the Geely Preface TCR demonstrated strong front-running
performance, with Yann Ehrlacher taking pole position and Santiago Urrutia winning
Races 1 and 3. The pair secured two Geely Cyan Racing 1–2 finishes, while Urrutia
added third place in Race 2. The results underlined the Geely Preface TCR’s qualifying
speed, race pace and consistency across the three races.

Earlier at Misano, the Geely Preface TCR secured a debut victory and three podium
finishes in its first race weekend. Developed through Geely’s partnership with Cyan
Racing, the race car uses optimized braking, power delivery and transmission control,
while its longer wheelbase contributes to stability at speed. These competition-
proven engineering priorities provide a natural bridge to the road, with the same
CMA foundation underpinning the production Geely Preface and supporting the balance,
control and durability drivers value in everyday use.

In the production Geely Preface, CMA works with four-wheel independent suspension
to provide reassuring chassis support and controlled body movement through corners,
while maintaining a composed ride over changing surfaces. Its DP-EPS electric power
steering delivers precise, predictable responses during cornering and lane changes,
helping the car hold a stable line through fast bends and at highway speeds while
remaining easy to place in urban traffic. This combination supports consistent body
control during long-distance driving, reducing corrections and helping maintain 
a calmer journey.

The 2.0TD engine produces 160 kW and 325 N·m, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch
transmission, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. A braking distance
of 35.9 metres adds reassurance when conditions change. Across congested urban roads,
long high-speed highways and routes exposed to wide temperature variations, these
qualities support composed handling, stable cruising and responsive acceleration
for merging and overtaking.

Following the Chengdu round, Santiago Urrutia moved into second in the drivers’ 
championship, significantly closing the gap at the top and strengthening Geely Cyan
Racing’s title challenge heading into the final rounds. The 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World
Tour next heads to Zhejiang International Circuit on October 23–25, 2026, where 
Geely Cyan Racing will look to build on its championship campaign.
