The Lynk & Co Cyan Racing team delivered a dominating performance at the Valencia leg of the 2025 FIA TCR World Tour, securing a 1st and 2nd finish in Race 3 with Yann Ehrlacher taking the top step of the podium, followed closely by teammate, Santiago Urrutia.
It was Ehrlacher’s second win of the weekend, helping him take the lead in the Drivers’ Championship with a total of 152 points. Urrutia now sits in second overall with 146 points. The team’s strong showing also extends their advantage in the Teams’ Championship, where Lynk & Co Cyan Racing now holds a 100+ point lead with 325 points in total.
Central to their success is the Lynk & Co 03 TCR, a race car known for its exceptional power and handling, strong cornering ability, and reliability under pressure. Designed specifically for touring car competitions, the 03 TCR has continuously proven itself as a competitive and consistent vehicle across various tracks, and Valencia was no exception.
Reflecting on the weekend, Ehrlacher said it was the team’s most consistent and trouble-free performance so far this season. “It was quite a nice weekend for us. It is the first time we’ve had a weekend with no bad luck. I was happy with the pace and all the work the guys have done.”
Furthermore, Ehlacher also shared the challenges the drivers faced in the Valencia touring track, particularly the high temperature, but still conveyed his interest to return another time. “I think Valencia is a nice touring car track; it’s quite challenging for us drivers to put together a good lap and the high temperature didn’t make things very easy either. It was quite challenging, but hopefully we’ll come back here in the future.”
Urrutia, who crossed the line just behind Ehrlacher in second, was equally pleased with the outcome and expressed excitement for the Monza leg. “It has been very good. Congratulations to Cyan, we had a strong weekend, with Yann’s two wins, and my two podiums and a pole position. Strong points for the championship both for the drivers and the team, which is the main thing. I didn’t expect to be this quick this weekend. I was surprised first with the pole position and then I just did my weekend and tried to avoid contact. I’ve had so many DNFs in the past, so this year I plan to just finish whatever position I can take. So far so good, it’s only six races, and now we go to Monza, a track I really like.”
With six rounds completed, Lynk & Co Cyan Racing continues to prove its strength on the race track with consistent top finishes and teamwork. The next race will take place at the Monza circuit in Italy on June 20-22, 2025 where the team will look to carry their momentum forward in the championship fight.
