BYD is studying a possible move into top-tier motorsport, including the Formula One, as it seeks to strengthen its global brand.

The company is also evaluating participation in endurance racing like the FIA World Endurance Championship. However, no final decision has been made, and the high costs of entering F1 remain a major hurdle.
