GEN3 Evo iON Race Showcases Advanced Tire Technology as Drivers Chase Glory in London
-- The 2025 London E-Prix marks the final two rounds of Season 11 of Formula E, as we look set to crown the Teams’ Champion following Oliver Rowland’s earlier Drivers’ Championship win in Berlin.
Hankook’s GEN3 Evo iON Race tire takes on Formula E’s only indoor-outdoor circuit, delivering trusted grip and stability through 20 turns and mixed lighting conditions.
As the exclusive tire partner of the Championship, Hankook reinforces its leadership in electric motorsport with peak performance and sustainable innovation at the season finale.
Set to close out an electrifying ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season, Hankook Tire & Technology (hereafter Hankook), a leading global tire company under Hankook & Company Group, heads to Formula E’s 2025 London E-Prix for a thrilling season finale double-header at ExCeL London on July 26 and 27. Returning to the capital’s iconic Royal Docklands, the event marks the final two races of the year, Races 15 and 16, and the culmination of Season 11, which has tested the limits of performance, strategy, and sustainability.
This year’s finale unfolds on one of Formula E’s most distinctive circuits. London’s 2.077km track winds both inside and outside the ExCeL Exhibition Centre, making it the only indoor-outdoor circuit on the calendar. All 22 drivers must contend with a 20-turn layout that features a mix of sharp elevation changes—from the incline at Turns 18 and 19 to the descent at Turns 5 and 6—and contrasting lighting conditions, demanding precision and adaptability.
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.
