Hankook Tire celebrates another first in Mexico City with Girls on Track

This season, Hankook is the official presenting partner of the FIA initiative Girls on Track, offering the programme in the racing cities of Mexico City, Diriyah, São Paulo and Jakarta. The programme’s objective is to actively promote young women and gender equality through innovative and positive means in motorsport. Roughly 400 girls will participate in the programme at the venues throughout Season 9. Furthermore, it is also possible to take part virtually for the first time. Hankook is presenting its commitment to social sustainability and gender diversity alongside its current partners, ABB and the FIA.

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.
