Helping Create an Equal Future for Motorsport | Hankook's Formula E Journey

We are holding the first of its kind for an FIA World Championship, an all-woman's test. Our Formula E teams have selected either one or two drivers to drive our new Gen 3 Evo car. So this is the exact same car that our very seasoned professional racing drivers have been driving all week. It is a unique opportunity for these teams to meet these women and for these women to meet each other, to build their networks, gain some valuable seat time and ideally advance their own individual careers within the motorsport ecosystem and hopefully fall in love with Formula E and want to be part of our grid in the future. We have a dedicated tire supplier in Hankook and they supply the performance racing tires for all of our race cars for the entire grid. In the history of motorsports, not many women drivers have competed. Tracks and probing grounds are usually man's world. Hankook is deeply committed to promoting diversity and inclusion and our participation in the global platform like Formula E is a key of that effort. I'm also very much proud of Hankook for supporting these courageous young drivers to take a step into Formula E. We pride ourselves on being progressive, not only with the technology of our race cars, but also we pride ourselves on our progressive actions so that our fans around the world know that motorsport is a place for them and that we can have men and women competing on the grid, competing in pit lane. We know that creating a day like the Women's Test is a critical step in that journey. As part of my role with Hankook and Formula E, I've been involved with the Girls on Track initiative. It's a great opportunity for young women to come to Formula E Pado and learn what roles are possible within motorsport. They get the opportunity to try everything from driving in a simulator to programming robots, all vital skills that are required to work in motorsport. We are proud to be part of such a groundbreaking event and we look forward to seeing the positive impact this event has on the future of motorsport.
