This milestone marks the 10th World Title for Cyan Racing and the eighth achieved in partnership with Lynk & Co in just eight years.
“We’ve proven once again that we’re the best touring car team in the world,” said Fredrik Wahlén, CEO and Team Manager of Cyan Racing.
“To secure our 10th World Title in such a short time is a testament to the talent, hard work, and dedication of everyone on the team. It’s an achievement we are all immensely proud of.”
The season finale at Macau presented unique challenges, including unpredictable weather, heavy rain, and drying track conditions. Despite these hurdles, Lynk & Co Cyan Racing’s drivers—Yann Ehrlacher, Ma Qing Hua, and Santiago Urrutia—delivered strong performances, further solidifying the team’s position as the pinnacle of touring car racing.
As the 2024 season concludes, Aurobay and Lynk & Co Cyan Racing look ahead to new challenges, continuing to drive innovation and excellence in motorsport.
