GEN3 Evo iON Race Tyre Tackles Formula E’s Only Indoor-Outdoor Circuit in Season-Ending Thriller
- The 2025 London E-Prix hosts the final two contests of Formula E Season 11, with the Teams’ Championship title still to be decided following Oliver Rowland’s individual win in Berlin
- Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race tyre takes on the unique 20-turn layout at ExCeL London, maintaining grip and stability across sharp elevation shifts and dual lighting zones
- Hankook continues to lead in electric motorsport, combining innovation and sustainable excellence at the heart of the Formula E finale
Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook), the premium global tyre manufacturer under the Hankook & Company Group, is primed for an epic conclusion to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The 2025 London E-Prix will light up the capital with a season-ending double-header on 26 and 27 July, deciding the Teams’ Championship after a gripping year of innovation and speed.
Staged at London’s ExCeL Centre, the 2.077km circuit is the only one on the calendar to combine indoor and outdoor racing. With 20 complex corners, abrupt inclines at Turns 18–19, and swift declines at Turns 5–6—not to mention the lighting transitions—drivers will need nerves of steel and equipment they can rely on. Hankook’s high-performance GEN3 Evo iON Race tyre has been engineered precisely for such demanding scenarios.
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.
