Positive media feedback at Meet the Hankook Team event in São Paulo

There was plenty of interest in the topic of Formula E tyres. Hankook had invited international journalists to join a “Meet the Hankook Team” event to chat about the Hankook iON Race on the occasion of the São Paulo E-Prix. Hankook Motorsport Director Manfred Sandbichler and Race Tire Development Engineer Mike Choi were joined by a special guest, Swiss driver Nico Müller from the ABT CUPRA Formula E Team, to talk about the strengths of the standard tyre for Formula E. Müller revealed that he is particularly impressed by the high level of performance and reliability provided by the Hankook iON Race, and that he also chooses Hankook tyres away from the track.

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. Since the 2023 season, 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 has also agreed a further collaboration with Italian sports car manufacturer Lamborghini Squadra Corse and has been official technical partner and exclusive tyre supplier of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo since 2023. Hankook’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. Hankook also supports popular touring car championship TCR Italy, many high-class one-make cups for a wide range of renowned manufacturers, junior single-seater series, and assorted international racing events with race tyres and technical know-how.
