The Chinese manufacturer BYD becomes the official partner of the FFSA GT and Touring championships for the 2026 season.
BYD is strengthening its presence in France by becoming a partner of the French FFSA Circuit Championship, in collaboration with SRO Motorsports Group. The agreement covers the FFSA GT and FFSA Touring championships for the entire 2026 season.
In this context, BYD will serve as the “Official Cars” partner for the five events on the calendar. Two vehicles from the manufacturer will be involved at each race to fulfill the roles of Safety Car and Medical Car. They will contribute to the management and safety on the track.
The proof is in the racing
The partnership covers the entire 2026 calendar, which kicks off this weekend at the Paul Armagnac Circuit. As part of the Nogaro Easter Cups, to be followed on AUTOhebdo.fr, spectators will be able to see these vehicles. The season will conclude in October at the Paul Ricard Circuit.
For BYD, this collaboration fits into a development strategy in the French market, relying on the championship’s notoriety and its territorial anchorage. SRO Motorsports Group emphasizes the growing interest of international manufacturers in national competitions, in a context marked by technological and environmental changes in the automotive sector.
