Why does one compound work for every Formula E race? How does the Hankook iON Race manage to provide the same level of grip throughout the entire race distance? How did the idea to use two running surfaces on one tyre come about? Hankook Motorsport Director Manfred Sandbichler and Benoît Tréluyer, test and development driver for the iON Race, provided Hankook colleagues from South Africa and selected journalists with answers to these questions and more about Hankook’s premium product.
For decades, Hankook has been one of the first ports of call when it comes to international motorsport. Hankook supplies its race tyres to globally-renowned series, high-class junior formats and popular grassroot events.
