Daventry, UK, 22th March 2019 – Premium tyre maker Hankook is announced as official tyre partner at this year’s Supercar Fest, to be held at the historic Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside.

Also on display will be Hankooks new flagship tyre, the Ventus S1 Evo 3, which is an ultra-high-performance tyre for luxury as well as performance vehicles.

Brett Emerson, Managing Director of Hankook Tyre UK says, “When Hankook was approached to sponsor Supercar Fest at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb which is the oldest motorsport venue in the world and still using the original course, we were delighted to be considered and saw this as a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the Hankook brand and our world class tyres to motoring enthusiasts and supercar owners. It seems very fitting given the strong links we have in Motorsport throughout the world including DTM, Renault Euro Cup, Supercar Challenge, British F4 and Radical to name a few.”
