Recently, GAC has been deepening its layout in the Argentine market with a flurry of strategic moves. On one hand, GAC made its debut at the prestigious local TC2000 Championship as both the official sponsor and the safety car provider, with its EMZOOM model serving as the official safety car of the tournament, fully demonstrating the outstanding performance and brand appeal of Chinese automobiles on the track. On the other hand, following the successful sponsorship of the Buenos Aires Premier Padel P1 in the first quarter, which garnered excellent market response, GAC secured the sponsorship rights for the tournament again in the second quarter. Taking these two major sports events as a link, GAC is deeply integrating into Argentina's local sports culture, injecting strong impetus into its in-depth development in Argentina and its radiation across the Latin American market.
The cooperation between GAC and the TC2000 Championship has been officially announced on both parties' social media platforms, and GAC's brand logo has been formally listed among the official partners at the tournament venue. The renewed sponsorship of the Premier Padel P1 marks another important step for GAC in its continuous deepening of sports marketing in Latin America.

As a national annual motorsport event in Argentina, the TC2000 Championship hosts 12 rounds of regional competitions across multiple provinces of Argentina each year, attracting a large number of core fans who care about automotive innovation, performance and technology. It is a key platform for brands to reach local core audiences and enhance regional influence. Argentina boasts a profound motorsport culture, and the TC2000 Championship is a central topic in the local automotive circle. GAC's in-depth participation has realized the natural integration of the brand with local automotive culture, laying a solid foundation for building an emotional connection with consumers.
During the tournament, the EMZOOM took on the role of the official safety car for the TC2000 Championship, leading the way on the track throughout the event and appearing frequently in on-site and official broadcast footage, achieving high-efficiency brand exposure. Beyond core track presence, GAC has built a multi-dimensional communication matrix: brand logos are displayed across all areas around the track to strengthen on-site visual penetration; brand voiceovers and on-screen integrations are featured in the official broadcast of the tournament, reaching a wide audience on television and digital platforms; offline face-to-face interactions are held with racing enthusiasts to deepen brand perception; and tournament content is released simultaneously on various social platforms to expand communication boundaries, achieving synergistic online and offline efforts.

The Buenos Aires Premier Padel P1, first sponsored by GAC in the first quarter of this year, is part of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour system and one of the most important international padel tournaments. The second-quarter edition of the tournament will be held from May 11 to 17, 2026, at the Mary Terán de Weiss Stadium - Roca Park Arena in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tournament will bring together the world's top professional padel players to compete against each other, and the week-long event will attract thousands of spectators. With this renewed cooperation in the second quarter, GAC will continue to leverage the tournament to achieve in-depth brand exposure in high-end sports scenarios across Latin America.

From partnering with the TC2000 Championship to sponsoring the Buenos Aires Premier Padel P1, GAC's sports marketing initiatives have an influence that extends not only across Argentina but also across the entire Latin American region. As a market with the greatest passion for and influence on motorsport culture in Latin America, Argentina is also a crucial fulcrum for GAC's radiation across the Latin American market. The launch of these two major sports events has significantly boosted the brand's popularity and favorability in Latin America, allowing the reputation of Chinese auto brands to break geographical boundaries and extend across the whole of Latin America, demonstrating GAC's long-term vision for deepening its layout in the Latin American market.
GAC's successive participation in these two major Argentine sports events has not only raised the brand's exposure but also consolidated its brand credibility and narrowed the emotional distance with local consumers. It further reinforced GAC’s positioning as a modern, competitive, and ambitious brand among motorsport fans, sports enthusiasts, prospective customers, dealers, and the industry.
In the future, as GAC continues to deepen its presence in the Argentine market, such initiatives of deep integration into local core cultural scenarios will be further promoted. This will help shape a positive image of Chinese auto brands in the South American market, support GAC's steady development here, and gradually make it an important participant and promoter in the South American market, writing a brand-new chapter for the internationalization of Chinese automobiles with new practices in sports marketing.
