New control tyre supplier confirmed for Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour

HANKOOK will return as the official tyre supplier of the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour, commencing with the 2025 event. 

The event has signed a multi-year agreement with the renowned tyre brand, who have a more than 20-year history of supporting Australian Motorsport and Production Car racing in particular.

The new agreement will see every competitor utilise Hankook Ventus R-Spec Medium compound tyres throughout the 18-20 April, 2025 event, while Hankook will also join the event as a commercial partner.

The new partnership is something of a reunion for both parties: Hankook serving as the official tyre supplier for the Bathurst 6 Hour for the first three years of its existence commencing with the inaugural race in 2016.

The current specification tyre was developed specifically by Hankook in Australia for local conditions, with a long and successful track record both at Mount Panorama and in both state and national-level Production Car competition.

The brand currently supplies tyres to the First Focus Radical Cup Australia Series, the Precision National Sports Sedans Series and Hyper racer Hankook Australian Drivers Championship among other categories.

The 2025 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour will be held at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, across the Easter long weekend on 18-20 April next year.

Entries will open soon, with demand expected to again be strong, while tickets and camping will also be on sale soon.
