Lynk & Co launches its rally academy and unveils the 07GT race car
The 07GT programme links a co-developed rally car with a new driver-training pathway.
Lynk & Co announced its Rally Academy on 23 July, alongside the public unveiling of the 07GT rally car. The manufacturer named APRC champion Lin Dewei as chief instructor and set out a route from rally licence training into one-make competition.
Lynk & Co and Team Pegasus co-developed the Rally Academy version of the 07GT around the production car’s EM-P hybrid powertrain. The programme’s plan was to use a common vehicle specification for training and competition. The cars went on to make their competitive debut at Huairou in August.
