Lynk & Co Cyan Racing to defend WTCR titles

After winning both the Drivers and Teams’ titles in the 2020 FIA WTCR, Lynk & Co Cyan Racing returns to the World Cup to defend the crowns.
The four-driver line-up remains unchanged with the reigning champion Yann Ehrlacher and his uncle Yvan Muller racing under the banner of Lynk & Co Cyan Racing, while Santiago Urrutia and Thed Björk will team up at Lynk & Co Cyan Performance.

"I am incredibly proud to start the season as champion with the team after what was the best season of my life last year," said Ehrlacher. "But anyone assuming I would be less motivated or ready for a new challenge in 2021 would be deeply mistaken. I have longed for this season ever since the 2020 season finale and I am very much ready."

Muller said "Anyone who knows me knows that I am only here to win and that goes for everyone in Lynk & Co Cyan Racing. I will start my 16th world touring car season this year and I am as motivated as when I drove my first in 2006."

Urrutia said: "I want to pick up right where I left off in the 2020 season finale when I claimed two poles and my first WTCR victory. I really feel at home in the team after my debut season and I aim to keep moving forward. My ultimate goal is of course that we win as a team and for me personally to become world champion."

Björk said: "I am really proud to be a part of the journey the team has done since 2012 and it boosts my confidence that they put their faith in me for a tenth straight season. My goal for 2021 is firmly set on taking a big step forward in the results and to challenge for the very top step of the standings."
