Hankook Celebrates a Triumphant End to Season 11 of Formula E

Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 30 July 2025 – The 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship came to a dramatic close in London over the weekend, with a thrilling double-header finale at ExCeL London. As the checkered flag fell on a landmark season for electric motorsport, premium tyre manufacturer Hankook proved instrumental in all 16 rounds, delivering consistent grip, reliability, and innovation across some of the season’s most demanding circuits. From São Paulo’s searing straights to London’s tight indoor-outdoor layout at the ExCeL, the GEN3 Evo iON Race tyre showcased all-weather performance and precision engineering.

Following Oliver Rowland’s decisive triumph in the Drivers’ World Championship in Berlin, Nick Cassidy closed out the season with back-to-back victories in Rounds 15 and 16 at the 2025 Marvel Fantastic Four London E-Prix, securing a run of three consecutive wins. After two intense days of racing through Formula E’s only indoor-outdoor circuit—featuring 20 technical turns, lighting transitions, and different grip—TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team emerged victorious, clinching the Teams’ World Championship title with 256 points and also sealed the Manufacturers’ title with 383 points.

ExCeL London’s mixed surfaces, from polished indoor concrete to abrasive outdoor asphalt, created dramatic grip shifts and constant setup challenges, leaving drivers with almost no margin for error. These conditions placed immense demand on tyre adaptability and Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race tyre rose to the occasion. With thermal stability and consistent traction, the tyre gave drivers the confidence to brake late, accelerate hard, and execute clean overtakes under pressure. In a format where split-second decisions define championships, it proved to be a key competitive asset.

Manfred Sandbichler, Senior Director of Hankook Motorsports, commented: "This season has been an incredible showcase of what electric motorsport is capable of: fast, fierce, and forward-thinking. Our tyre has performed across diverse circuits and weather scenarios, and the London E-Prix was no exception. Congratulations to the Drivers’, Teams’, and Manufacturers’ World Champions, and heartfelt thanks go out to the entire Formula E community for another electrifying season.”
