​Three-Time World Champion Andy Priaulx Joins Lynk & Co Cyan Racing

Priaulx claimed three straight World Titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007 FIA WTCC and has most recently raced in GT, claiming the bronze medal of the 2017 FIA GT World Endurance Championship.

“I’m delighted to become a Lynk & Co Cyan Racing driver, and I have no doubt that we are in a strong position to fight for the overall title already in our first year,” said Andy Priaulx.

“We have a tough job ahead of us. The competition is as tough as it has ever been in the WTCR. But I have followed Cyan Racing’s process over the years, and it was an easy decision for me to join them ahead of 2019.”

“Andy is a true touring car legend whose track record speaks for itself. His mix of experience and raw speed will be vital to us. We are glad to have him on board for the 2019 WTCR season that looks to become one of the toughest ever,” said Christian Dahl, CEO of Cyan Racing.

Andy Priaulx will drive one of Cyan Racing’s Lynk & Co 03 TCR race cars for the 2019 FIA WTCR alongside confirmed drivers Yvan Muller and Thed Björk.
