The racing competition 'Lamborghini Super Trofeo,' organized by the Italian supercar brand Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A, will hold the 4th round of the 2025 season Asia series from July 18 to 20 at Inje Speedium in Gangwon Province.
This competition will have Hankook Tire & Technology Co., Ltd. (CEO An Jong-seon, Lee Sang-hoon, hereinafter Hankook Tire) as the exclusive supplier of racing tires. Hankook Tire has been collaborating with Lamborghini since the 2023 season. Hankook Tire's ultra-high-performance racing tire 'Ventus' supports the explosive performance of the participating vehicle 'Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2.'
Inje Speedium, where the race will be held, is designed with a total length of 3.91 km, featuring high-speed straights along with 19 corners and a dynamic up-and-down section utilizing a maximum elevation change of 40 m. To overcome extreme conditions during the event, such as high track surface temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and repetitive sharp turns, the key performance aspects of racing tires, including grip, handling, durability, and heat resistance, must be perfectly supported.
During the event, Hankook Tire will host the 'Ventus Experience' event, providing European automotive influencers with an opportunity to experience the technology of the 'Ventus Super Sports' product line. Starting with the Korean event observation, there will be driving programs using supercars owned by Hankook Tire and tours of advanced R&D infrastructure to enhance the recognition of its top-tier technology leading the global ultra-high-performance tire market.
Hankook Tire is committed to securing the most advanced ultra-high-performance tire technology, verified through participation in more than 70 global motorsport competitions, including 'Lamborghini Super Trofeo' and the World Rally Championship (WRC). This involves source technologies developed in cutting-edge infrastructure, including the headquarters 'Technoplex,' the high-tech research institute 'Hankook Technodome,' and Asia's largest tire testing track 'Hankook Technoring.'
It continues to expand partnerships with supercar brands such as 'Porsche,' 'BMW M,' 'Mercedes-AMG,' and 'Audi RS' in the new car tire institutional sector, and is also accelerating its global market strategy by promoting the 'Ventus Super Sports' lineup in the replacement segment.
The 2025 season of Lamborghini Super Trofeo consists of 3 series: Asia, Europe, and North America, each comprising 6 rounds. After the season ends, the continental series winners will compete for the season championship at the grand final held in Misano, Italy, in November.
