Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook), a world-renowned innovator in tyre solutions and a subsidiary of Hankook & Company Group, returns to the spotlight for the Season 11 finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Taking place at ExCeL London on 26–27 July, the London E-Prix brings the final double-header of the year—Races 15 and 16—capping off a year defined by speed, innovation, and green technology.
Renowned for its challenging layout, the 2.077km London circuit uniquely combines indoor and outdoor segments, running through the ExCeL Centre and the surrounding Docklands. With 20 complex corners, varying gradients—particularly at Turns 18/19 and Turns 5/6—and lighting shifts from daylight to artificial interiors, drivers will require supreme precision and control to succeed.
The 2025 London E-Prix will also celebrate this season’s champions. While Oliver Rowland has already secured the Drivers’ World Championship following his victory at the 2025 Hankook Berlin E-Prix, the Teams’ Championship title remains contested. With the support of Hankook’s tires, Rowland’s Berlin victory solidified his title, showcasing Hankook’s contribution to the competitive environment throughout the season.. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team leads with 228 points, with the Nissan Formula E Team close behind at 205 points, setting the stage for a dramatic final weekend.
As the exclusive technical partner and tire supplier of the championship, Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race tire, developed exclusively for Formula E’s GEN3 Evo race cars, will support the crowning of the Season 11 champion in London. The tire’s specially engineered rubber compound and advanced tread profile deliver reliable grip and thermal control, enabling peak performance even across London’s varied surfaces. It also reflects Hankook’s commitment to sustainability, incorporating 35% sustainable materials and supporting a closed-loop recycling process after each race.
Maximilian Günther of DS Penske recently praised the tire for its performance and consistency: “Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race gives me a lot of confidence, especially in varied track and weather conditions. Whether it’s wet patches, fluctuating track temperatures, or tricky surfaces, the grip and consistency really allow us to push the car and stay in control.”
As Season 11 comes to a close, Hankook looks ahead as it continues its journey at the forefront of electric motorsport. With each race, the company not only supports the pursuit of peak performance but also advances innovation and sustainability in global motorsport.
