Hankook has been appointed the official tire supplier for the RC2, RC3 and RC4 classes in the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship for the next three seasons. The tire maker is already the exclusive supplier to the FIA World Rally Championship, as well as several national and international championships.
“Throughout 2027, 2028 and 2029, tires for the RC2, RC3 and RC4 classes in the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship will be supplied exclusively by Hankook,” said Xavier Schene, director general of RACB Sport.
“For competitors, these tires offer an attractive solution from a competitive perspective as the Korean manufacturer has been the exclusive tire partner of the FIA World Rally Championship since 2025.
“From next season onward, this will also give WRC drivers the opportunity to use Belgian Rally Championship events as test rallies in preparation for WRC events. Hankook tires are also used in the Junior ERC.”
As a global partner of the FIA since the beginning of this year, Hankook’s involvement in the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship further expands its presence in rally sport. Continuity across disciplines will be maintained, with Kronos Tires cotinuing to distribute the tires.
“Naturally, we are very pleased and proud that Hankook will become the exclusive tire partner of the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship for the next three seasons in RC2, RC3 and RC4 classes. The BRC is one of the strongest national rally championships in Europe and will provide an excellent showcase for the performance and quality of our asphalt competition tires,” said Manfred Sandbichler, senior director of Hankook Motorsport.
“As BRC Promoter, we are delighted that a global tire brand such as Hankook has committed to becoming the exclusive tire supplier of the Kroon-Oil BRC. The competitive package of the tires is an important asset in this respect and will help us keep costs manageable for our teams,” said Stevy Courteyn on behalf of BRC Promotion.
