The Chinese manufacturer BYD becomes the official partner of the FFSA GT and Tourism championships for the 2026 season.
BYD strengthens its presence in France by becoming a partner of the French Circuit FFSA Championship, in collaboration with SRO Motorsports Group. The agreement covers the FFSA GT and FFSA Tourism championships for the entire 2026 season.
In this framework, BYD will serve as the “Official Cars” partner for the five events on the calendar. Two vehicles from the manufacturer will be engaged at each round to fulfill the roles of Safety Car and Medical Car. They will thus contribute to the management and safety on track.
The proof by the track
The partnership covers the entire 2026 calendar, which kicks off this weekend at the Paul Armagnac Circuit. During the Easter Cups in Nogaro, to be followed on AUTOhebdo.fr, spectators will be able to discover these vehicles. The season will conclude in October at the Paul Ricard Circuit.
For BYD, this collaboration fits into a development strategy for the French market, leveraging the championship’s reputation and its territorial roots. On its side, SRO Motorsports Group highlights the growing interest of international manufacturers in national competitions, in a context marked by technological and environmental developments in the automotive sector.
