« It is really interesting to work with very young and unexprienced drivers as their feedback is always interesting. The tire Hankook Competition is providing to the Series is a good compound to start a racing career as they last longer than in higher categories. They allow the drivers to keep pushing for more laps than they will be able to when the competition gets tougher. It is as well more cost effective for the championship. From what I have seen those past days, the car has a very good behavior and the general balance of the car fits the tire very well. It will be interesting to watch when we will get to the first round of the Championship in May »

Hankook Competition will be joining on all the rounds of the SMP F4 Championship.
