Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 7th September 2026 – For the next three seasons, Hankook will become the official tyre supplier for the RC2, RC3 and RC4 classes in the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship. Hankook is already the exclusive tyre supplier to the FIA World Rally Championship, as well as several national and international championships, where it demonstrates the quality and performance of its competition tyres.
“Throughout 2027, 2028 and 2029, tyres for the RC2, RC3 and RC4 classes in the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship will be supplied exclusively by Hankook. For competitors, these tyres offer an attractive solution from a competitive perspective as the Korean manufacturer has been the exclusive tyre partner of the FIA World Rally Championship since 2025. From next season onwards, this will also give WRC drivers the opportunity to use Belgian Rally Championship events as test rallies in preparation for WRC events. Hankook tyres are also used in the Junior ERC,” explains Xavier Schene, Director General of RACB Sport.
As a Global Partner of the FIA since the beginning of this year, Hankook is further expanding its presence in rally sport through its involvement in the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship. At the same time, continuity will be maintained, as the tyres will continue to be distributed by Kronos Tires.
Hankook celebrates its 85th anniversary this year, operates in more than 160 countries and has eight production facilities across five continents. The company continues to demonstrate its world-class technology in motorsport. Across more than 70 motorsport competitions worldwide, Hankook supplies racing tyres or supports teams.
“Naturally, we are very pleased and proud that Hankook will become the exclusive tyre partner of the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship for the next three seasons in RC2, RC3 and RC4 classes. The BRC is one of the strongest national rally championships in Europe and will provide an excellent showcase for the performance and quality of our asphalt competition tyres,” says Manfred Sandbichler, Senior Director of Hankook Motorsport.
“As BRC Promoter, we are delighted that a global tyre brand such as Hankook has committed to becoming the exclusive tyre supplier of the Kroon-Oil BRC. The competitive package of the tyres is an important asset in this respect and will help us keep costs manageable for our teams,” concludes Stevy Courteyn on behalf of BRC Promotion.
