- Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race tyre takes on Formula E’s only indoor-outdoor circuit, delivering trusted grip and stability through 20 turns and mixed lighting conditions

As the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads towards a dramatic close, Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook), the pioneering tyre brand under Hankook & Company Group, returns to London for a spectacular double-header at ExCeL London on 26–27 July. The 2025 London E-Prix will determine the final outcome of Season 11, rounding off a year marked by groundbreaking competition and progress.
The ExCeL track, cutting through both the interior of the exhibition centre and the surrounding Royal Docklands, spans 2.077km and delivers a thrilling blend of racing conditions. Its 20 turns, along with sharp inclines and descents, plus contrasting lighting throughout the lap, make it a supreme test for driver skill and tyre performance—making Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race an essential asset.
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.
