Kumho Tire Sponsors Hyundai N Festival

Kumho Tire announced on the 26th that it will supply tires for the 'Hyundai N Festival,' the largest single-model race competition in Korea.

This year's Hyundai N Festival will operate sprint classes including the 'Avante N Cup (professional level, N1 class),' the 'Veloster N Cup (amateur level, N2 class),' and the 'Avante N Line Cup (beginner level, N3 class).' Additionally, there are time trial classes such as the 'Avante N Time Trial,' 'Veloster N Time Trial,' and 'Avante N Line Time Trial.'

Kumho Tire will exclusively supply racing tires for the N1 class, the top professional class of the Hyundai N Festival. The N1 class is a one-make race featuring high-performance N vehicles modified exclusively for circuit racing. All vehicles participating in the race will be equipped with the racing tire ‘ECSTA S700,’ which delivers excellent grip and stable handling performance even at high speeds, and the racing tires ‘ECSTA W700, W701,’ which provide robust driving performance and stability on wet roads.

In particular, through this sponsorship contract, Kumho Tire will supply all racing tires on a paid basis until the 2024 season. This contract also strengthens the trust between the two companies. It lays the foundation for various collaborations in the domestic and international motorsports fields in the future.
