President of Hankook Latin America visits the São Paulo E-Prix

Alex Inho Choi, President of Hankook Tire Latin America S.A., followed race six of the 2023 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with great interest from trackside. However, before the 22 drivers took to the track, Alex Inho Choi was taken for a very special lap of the 2.933-kilometre circuit as a passenger in an electric Porsche. Alex Inho Choi: “I am delighted and proud that Formula E is in Brazil together with Hankook, the official technical partner and tyre supplier. The big crowds showed the immense interest that Brazilians have in the electric racing series, and made the event here in São Paulo a real sporting highlight. My lap was an amazing experience. To see the circuit from a driver’s perspective is something very special.”
