The Australian Formula 3 Premier Series has secured a new control tyre supplier for the 2017 season.
The newly reformed series has inked a deal with Hankook, who will supply competitors with rubber during the six round series.
Hankook will replace Kumho, who had previously held a contract with Australian F3.
“The Hankook tyre to be used by F3 is the same size and compound as the current F4 tyre, and Gary Harrison from Gary’s Motorsport Tyres is confident that there will be a performance gain resulting in even quicker lap times,” said Formula 3 Management spokesperson Mike Drewer.
As previously reported, the series’ new guise will accommodate older F3 chassis and other open-wheelers including Formula 1000, Formula Ford 2000, Formula Renault, Toyota Racing Series, Formula BMW, and similar vehicles.
