BYD Eyes F1 and Endurance Racing, Accelerating Global Motorsport Push

With rapidly growing overseas sales and the motorsport industry's shift toward hybrid powertrains, BYD is actively exploring pathways to participate in top-tier international racing series. The company is currently considering options including the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)—which features the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans—and Formula 1 (F1). In the case of F1, BYD could enter either by establishing its own team or acquiring an existing one. This move would not only align with its strategic focus on new energy technologies but also enhance the brand’s global influence.
