Hankook Tires will be the sole and official tire supplier for revived Sepang 12 Hours.
The 2023 event though will be held over an 8-hour duration after consultation with teams and stakeholders, including Hankook over discussions on the current global economic and supply chain.
Davide de Gobbi, Owner and General Manager of Top Speed. We are very happy to have Hankook Tires be part of the return of the Sepang 12 Hours. They are a very well respected and resolute company who knows exactly what our teams will require upon their return to endurance racing in South East Asia.
Youngsoo Kim, Vice President of Motorsports & Motor Culture Department Hankook Tire: We are extremely happy to be the official tire supplier in the 2023 Sepang 12 Hours. Now is the time for us to contribute to Asian motorsport which is waking up for the renaissance after suffering from the pandemic. We are confident that the teams and the drivers will enjoy our tires and the service provided by HK Motorsport. Moving forward, we will expand our contribution to Asian motorsport from this opportunity. I’d also like to express my appreciation to everyone who made this possible including Top Speed, SIC and HK Motorsport.
Hongsik Jean, Managing Director of HK Motorsport: Sepang 12 Hours (since MME time) was one of the jewels in Asian motorsport so I, personally as a motorsport person, am very happy to see the race is back since its last event in 2016 and also greatly honoured that Hankook is appointed as the official tyre supplier. With this great opportunity, we will try our best to support and satisfy the teams & the drivers in every field. We also greatly appreciate for the organiser, Top Speed and SIC (Sepang International Circuit)’s trust in us and will make sure everyone related to this are satisfied after arguably the world’s hottest endurance race event.
