I think F1 is not for BYD—or at most, they could just provide a few safety cars. What they should really do is team up with other Chinese NEV brands to create their own hybrid or electric car racing series, instead of joining competitions where all the rules are set by other company.

I think F1 is not for BYD—or at most, they could just provide a few safety cars. What they should really do is team up with other Chinese NEV brands to create their own hybrid or electric car racing series, instead of joining competitions where all the rules are set by other company.

BYD has already build new racing mega complex in Zhengzhou city. spanning over 150,000 square meters. With a stated goal of enabling “millions on the track,” BYD aims to transform racing culture from an exclusive pursuit into a mainstream experience.

BYD Zhengzhou All-Terrain Race Track breaks the mould by condensing diverse national terrains into one location. Users can experience extreme scenarios like floating water navigation, desert dune climbing and simulated ice and snow conditions without extensive travel. This makes it the first circuit in China which offers a wide set of driving scenarios for testing of safety, performance and off-road capabilities.

The main track spans 1,758 meters, featuring nine turns and a 550-meter straightaway where vehicles can reach speeds of up to 220 km/h.

BYD plans to build similar facilities in Hefei and Shaoxing. BYD is also studying the installation of a test complex in a mountainous region of China, obviously geared towards off-road and outdoor enthusiasts, covering 1.3 square kilometers and featuring elevations of around 500 meters.
