55-strong orchestra provides new soundtrack to Formula E

Formula E has remodelled its entire music and sound offering, which is used on all broadcasting and digital channels. It has been inspired by the power of the electric acceleration and the sound of the fastest, lightest, most powerful and most efficient electric race car ever built – the GEN3. Two composers were commissioned to develop the full music and sound suite. They visited private GEN3 test sessions with NIO333 and Mahindra Racing, where they recorded the sound of the race cars. These recordings were then developed into a series of sound elements and incorporated in the new music package, which is used on television and in digital content. The whole new soundtrack, including the title music for the programme, was composed by Tom Player and recorded live by a 55-strong orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

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. With new collaborations and partnerships, the company is constantly enhancing its status as a global player on the motorsport scene: in total, Hankook is actively involved in more than 50 series in 2023. Since Season 9, Hankook has been the new and exclusive technical partner and tyre supplier of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. In close cooperation with Formula E, the iON Race was developed for the world championship. Roughly 30 percent of the high-performance tyre is made of sustainable materials. With this commitment, Hankook is taking another pioneering step towards energy efficiency and sustainability in motorsport. The premium tyre maker’s portfolio covers a broad spectrum. This includes the 24H Series powered by Hankook, one of the most prestigious endurance series in the world, as well as the FIA ERC4 Junior Championship on the rally scene, popular touring car championships ADAC TCR Germany and TCR Italy, many high-class one-make cups for a wide range of renowned manufacturers, junior single-seater series, and assorted international racing events.
