This is the third 'Hankook' title sponsor competition of season 11 and will be held at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit, one of Formula E's iconic circuits.The 2.345km-long circuit, which consists of a high-speed straight line and 15 corner sections, offers a dynamic race because there are relatively many opportunities to overtake the opponent's driver and is considered a major battleground in the Formula E competition.
In particular, the circuit is characterized by a concrete track designed as an airplane runway, unlike conventional stadiums refined with asphalt.Therefore, core performance such as tire durability, heat resistance, grounding power, and handling is required more than ever in order to consistently perform the best performance even on rough roads and high temperatures unique to concrete tracks.
Hankook Tire also plans to support its stable performance with the "GEN3 Evoion Race" at this competition.Based on a composite material that combines special engineering fiber and natural rubber, the product has proven the world's top motorsports technology by fully supporting the explosive race of the "GEN3 Evo" vehicle with up to 322km/h and zero-back 1.86 seconds with excellent durability, heat-resistant driving stability and excellent overall efficiency even in high-temperature and high-speed driving environments.
In addition, the application of sustainable raw materials and energy-saving technologies simultaneously meets eco-friendliness and high performance and is evaluated as a next-generation electric vehicle racing tire.
At the same time, Hankook Tire plans to provide visitors with an opportunity to experience innovative technology that leads the global electric vehicle tire market through the experience of Formula E racing simulators, the world's first full-line electric vehicle tire brand "ION" and the real exhibition of "GEN3 Evo Ion Race."
Meanwhile, with Formula E Season 11 nearing its end, competition between participating drivers and teams for the season champion is at its peak.In the driver's championship category, Oliver Rowland, a member of the Nissan Formula E Team, is leading the race by 69 points from the second place, but it is not reassuring that the direction of the championship could change depending on the results of the Berlin event.
Likewise, in the team championship category, "TAG HEUER PORSCHE E Team" leads the team with 201 points, followed closely by "Nissan Formula E Team (191 points)" and "DS PENSKE (145 points), drawing keen attention from motorsports fans around the world.
Meanwhile, Hankook Tire's "Ion" is recognized by European consumers as a global representative electric vehicle tire brand. Since the launch of the local replacement market in 2022, it has operated more than 300 specifications ranging from 16 inches to 22 inches that can be installed in most existing electric vehicles, and has been widely recognized for its Top Tier technology by consistently ranking at the top in tests of leading local automotive magazines such as Germany's "Auto Bild."
