Cyan Racing
Cyan Racing is the official motorsport partner to Geely Group Motorsport, formerly the Volvo factory auto racing team, and runs the FIA WTCR programme for Lynk & Co, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The team’s current drivers are Thed Björk, Yvan Muller, Yann Ehrlacher, Santiago Urrutia and Ma Qing Hua who will drive the Lynk & Co 03 TCR race car.
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.
The Swedish Touring Car Championship was created in 1996, formalising touring car races in the country. Volvo, which had been competing in the BTCC since 1994, partnered with the newly founded, Halmstad-based Flash Engineering racing team, owned by Swedish driver Jan "Flash" Nilsson. Volvo provided financial support and the cars.
In 2005, Nilsson sold the Flash Engineering team to Christian Dahl, and it was renamed Polestar Racing.
Volvo announced in July 2015 that it had purchased Polestar Performance, the production car tuning division of Polestar, as well as the Polestar brand. The Polestar Racing team remained under the direction of Christian Dahl, and was rebranded Cyan Racing.
When the team entered the FIA World Touring Car Championship in 2016, it partnered with former rival team WestCoast Racing in order to continue running cars in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship.
The company launched the Volvo P1800 Cyan in 2020, a road legal restomod sold in limited numbers.
Flash Engineering initially raced a Volvo 850 Super Touring, built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). Team owner Jan Nilsson won the STCC in its inaugural season (1996), as well as 1997. In 1998, Flash moved to a S40 Super Touring, also built by TWR. In 2000, the team moved to Karlstad.
