Cyan Racing is the official motorsport partner to Geely Group Motorsport,[1] formerly the Volvo factory auto racing team, and runs the FIA WTCR programme for Lynk & Co,[2] based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The team’s current drivers are Thed Björk, Yvan Muller, Yann Ehrlacher, Santiago Urrutia and Ma Qing Hua[3] who will drive the Lynk & Co 03 TCR race car.[4]

The team was founded by Jan "Flash" Nilsson as Flash Engineering in 1996. Christian Dahl bought the team in 2005 and renamed it Polestar Racing. After Dahl sold the Polestar performance road car division to Volvo, the team was renamed Cyan Racing.[5]
