Yann Ehrlacher joins Lynk & Co Cyan Racing for 2019

The 22-year-old Yann Ehrlacher will complete Lynk & Co Cyan Racing's 2019 WTCR line-up, adding young talent to the star-studded squad with already confirmed teammates Thed Björk, Yvan Muller and Andy Priaulx.

"This is a dream come true and I cannot imagine a better team to be in than Cyan Racing. I have still a lot to learn and to have Andy, Thed and Yvan as teammates will enable me to both learn from them and at the same time set a very high target of results. While I am the youngest in the team, my ambitions are at least as high as theirs for the 2019 WTCR." said Ehrlacher, who has two WTCR victories to his tally.

"Yann has impressed us all with his speed and maturity relative to his young age, we haven't seen a young talent like him in many years. He completes our line-up in the best possible way alongside our experienced drivers," said Christian Dahl, CEO of Cyan Racing.

Ehrlacher will drive the new Lynk & Co 03 TCR race car for the first time at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain today together with team-mates Andy Priaulx and Yvan Muller.
