RFN will renew its partnership with Asia Racing Team and Blackjack Racing for the 2026 season of the F4 Chinese Championship, reinforcing a collaboration built on shared values of performance, engineering excellence and long-term development.
RFN, listed on China’s National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), is a subsidiary of Apollo Motor, one of the world’s most influential off-road motorcycle manufacturers. As an industry leader, RFN continues to innovate within the mid-size motorcycle segment, championing clean, quiet riding through its focus on lightweight, high-torque electric dirt bikes. The company’s mission is to develop high-quality, sustainable electric motorcycles that inspire progress towards a zero-emission society.
As part of the renewed partnership, RFN branding will feature prominently on the Asia Racing Team and Blackjack Racing Ligier JS F442 cars, as well as on drivers’ race suits, team apparel, garage signage and a range of digital assets throughout the season. The team’s entries in the F4 Chinese Championship will compete under the name Asia Racing Team RFN.
The scope of the collaboration will also extend beyond the championship itself, with Asia Racing Team supporting RFN’s global motorsport outreach and assisting in the identification and development of emerging racing talent worldwide, with the clear objective of establishing future joint programmes in a major international championship.
Chanel Ying, Founder and Chairwoman of RFN, commented: “Since partnering with Asia Racing Team in Formula 4, RFN has consistently taken race regulations and competition standards as the foundation of its technology and engineering approach. In 2026, we will continue this collaboration not as a short-term initiative, but as a process of long-term validation. This is not about concepts, but about disciplined execution within a framework defined by clear regulations, stringent safety requirements and repeatable engineering standards. RFN remains committed to refining its technology and continuously proving its capabilities — a long-term commitment that defines our approach.”
Rodolfo Avila, Team Manager of Asia Racing Team, added: “We are delighted to expand our partnership with RFN. Speed and excellence are values shared by both RFN and the team. RFN is a true powerhouse in the electric motorcycle industry, and its competitive edge strengthens this collaboration as we push to exceed the demands of performance in an ultra-competitive racing environment.”
