GEN3 Evo iON Race Meets Demanding Indoor-Outdoor Layout as Championship Closes in Style
- London’s 2025 E-Prix closes out the 11th season of Formula E, with the Teams’ Championship on the line after Oliver Rowland’s Drivers’ title win in Berlin
- Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race rises to the challenge of the indoor-outdoor ExCeL circuit, offering supreme traction across 20 turns and mixed visibility conditions
- As Formula E’s exclusive tyre provider, Hankook leads the charge in performance-driven and sustainable electric racing at the season’s most critical moment
Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook), the globally recognised tyre innovator from the Hankook & Company Group, heads to London for the dramatic finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The 2025 London E-Prix, taking place at ExCeL London on 26–27 July, will close the season with a fiercely competitive double-header—rounds 15 and 16.
What makes this finale particularly captivating is the one-of-a-kind 2.077km London track. Winding through the ExCeL exhibition space and out onto the surrounding Docklands, it combines 20 tight corners, complex elevation shifts, and inconsistent lighting. It’s a true test for drivers and tyres alike—and the GEN3 Evo iON Race from Hankook is engineered to master it with composure and confidence.
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.
