Roughly 100 Hankook guests watch the race for the world title unfold live in London

About 100 guests of Hankook were at the circuit to watch the grand finale of the Formula E season in London. The visitors from Great Britain, Poland, Turkey and Hungary included the winners of a Hankook competition, which more than 50,000 fans entered. Together with their families, the lucky winners were given a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of Formula E and its partner Hankook. “All our guests had a fantastic time at the Hankook London E-Prix, where they enjoyed VIP garage tours and meet & greet sessions with those involved in motorsport. The highlight was definitely the grid walk shortly before the race, during which the guests got to experience the drivers and cars up close and personal,” said Filip Pawelka, Hankook Director Marketing Communications Europe.
