For many years, Hankook has been one of the top suppliers in national and international automobile racing with its high-end Ventus Race tire line. In renowned series such as the DTM (since 2011), the 24H Series powered by Hankook, the W Series or the Formula Renault Eurocup, the racing tire from the premium tire manufacturer impresses every season with first-class performance, high consistency and maximum safety.
No more detours
Until now, Swiss customers had to obtain their Hankook racing tires via detours in Germany. From 2020, Fredy Barth - Motorsport & Events will deliver them directly to Switzerland. This will benefit his participants at the trackdays, but also all other Swiss motorsport enthusiasts at home and abroad.
Fredy Barth: "With Hankook, we have a product that, like our events and services, stands for first-class performance and high quality. Also, due to the high Swiss participation in the series supported by Hankook, I see a need for the teams to get the necessary tires easily and quickly."
For the cost conscious
The organizer of trackdays and corporate events is also thinking of racers who compete in slaloms and hill climbs and want to keep the financial outlay to a minimum.
Fredy Barth: "The Hankook race tires are proving to be very competitive and also impress with an advantageous price-performance ratio The supersoft tires are suitable for the Swiss races thanks to their quickly available grip and durability."
From my own experience
As a race driver, for example on TCR racing touring cars and GT vehicles, Barth was able to convince himself of the qualities of Hankook racing tires. In the DTM, Nico Müller celebrated many successes with Hankook, as did Hofor Racing in the endurance races of the 24H Series.
Complete service
Thanks to a professional logistics partner, stored tires can be delivered in German-speaking Switzerland on the day of the order and in the rest of Switzerland within 24h hours. Delivery costs are covered in the first year as a welcome gift for new customers. Other dimensions and compounds for the circuit can be ordered on request.
