Hankook Tire America Corp., will race its iON Race tire at the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race this weekend in Portland, Ore.
This is the ninth season of Formula E and is held in Portland on June 23-24 and the first race is at the “Portland International Raceway,” which can be found roughly six miles north of the city center.
“The race in Portland is held at a permanent racetrack for a change,” says Manfred Sandbichler, motorsport director, Hankook.
“With this in mind, we are expecting far less dirt than we have seen at some other races this season. That will allow the Hankook iON Race to exploit its high level of grip even better, and above all faster, and to offer drivers optimal support out on the track.”
The start is on Friday, June 23, from 2:30 –2:45 PDT, with a first free practice session from 5:00 – 5:30 the same day. The second free practice session takes place from 10:30 – 11:00 the next day on June 24, followed by a qualifying session from 12:40 – 1:55. Race 12 begins at 5:04, Saturday the 24th.
