The 'Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit,' where the competition will take place, is a 2.37 km urban circuit composed of high-speed straights and 18 corners. Due to the hot and humid climate and the demanding nature of the track, which requires repeated rapid acceleration and braking, the tires must provide excellent heat resistance, durability, and consistent driving performance.

Hankook Tire plans to support the successful operation of the event with the official racing tire for the competition, the 'GEN3 Evo iON Race,' which embodies the company's state-of-the-art electric vehicle tire technology.

This product fully supports the explosive performance of the official race car for Formula E Season 11, the 'GEN3 Evo,' which reaches a maximum speed of 322 km/h and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 1.86 seconds. By applying a composite material that combines special fibers and natural rubber, it delivers outstanding heat resistance and stability even during high-temperature and high-speed driving.

During the event, Hankook Tire will showcase its world-first full lineup of electric vehicle-only tire brand, 'iON,' as well as the 'GEN3 Evo iON Race,' at the venue to highlight its electric vehicle tire technology.

Meanwhile, Season 11 of Formula E, which consists of 16 rounds held in 10 major cities around the world, is currently seeing a fierce competition for the team championship, with the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team and the Nissan Formula E Team scoring 191 points and 190 points respectively, a difference of just one point. As a result, much attention is being paid to the outcome of the 12th round.
