Volkswagen Racing with Hankook

Global tyre major Hankook is throwing its weight behind the Volkswagen Racing Cup for the second year running, acting as a principal sponsor for the manufacturer-backed saloon racing series. The Volkswagen Racing Cup, now in its seventh season, is arguably one of the most successful championships of its type in the UK.

Hankook motorsports manager, Mike Patterson, stated “We are delighted to be renewing our association with such a successful race series. Last year the competitors were extremely enthusiastic about the Hankook tyres and their first opportunity to use slick tyres so we are delighted to build on these foundations with even more success for 2007.”

The first and second rounds for the season are tentatively scheduled to be held on April 9 at Oulton Park.
