Lamborghini announced that Hankook is now the “official tire supplier” of the Italian carmaker’s continental one-make race — the Super Trofeo championship.
Hankook will outfit participating Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2s with its Hankook Ventus Race, the South Korean tire maker’s high-grip medium compound race tires. According to Lamborghini, the said tire will be used across all three continental championships: Europe, North America, and Asia.
“We are delighted to announce this new partnership between Lamborghini Squadra Corse and Hankook for the coming season of Super Trofeo. Their experience and expertise in supplying the highest-quality tires across a wide range of championships and categories are unrivaled and we are looking forward to working closely together this season,” said Lamborghini Head of Motorsport Giorgio Sanna.
Sanna added that Lamborghini will be hosting a special round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia season at a new venue in South Korea.
Further, Lamborghini said that a dedicated “Hankook Village” will travel to every Super Trofeo race meeting this season to provide technical support to all three championships.
“We are proud to be a partner of this high-class international racing series as Lamborghini celebrates its 60th anniversary and are keen to expand this cooperation over the coming years. Our newly developed Ventus Race tire, with its mono-compound, has been designed as a medium version in such a way that it is able to exploit its full potential in different temperatures on a wide range of tracks and surfaces. Our Hankook engineers and mechanics will be on hand to help and advise the drivers and teams on all four continents. I am looking forward to an exciting season and the final highlight in Vallelunga,” said Hankook Motorsport Director Europa Manfred Sandbichler.
