MUMBAI: Castrol is back at full throttle and taking the fast lane to Aamby Valley. The lubricants giant has once again donned the crown of title sponsor for The Valley Run – Summer Edition 2025, turning the heat up on one of India’s most anticipated drag-racing festivals.
From 11-13 April, the Aamby Valley airstrip will ditch its sleepy luxury vibes and transform into a rev-happy, tyre-burning arena of adrenaline. With over 700 racers and 17,000 speed junkies expected to descend on the strip, this 14 edition of The Valley Run promises a cocktail of nitro-powered chaos — drag races, drifting, stunting, mud drags, and a parade of superbikes and supercars that’ll make your neck snap just trying to follow them.
Castrol India plans to showcase its full performance arsenal at the event — Castrol Power1, Castrol Edge, and the Castrol Autocare range — all lined up and gleaming under the sun like well-oiled gladiators. But this isn’t just a product showcase. It’s a horsepower-heavy carnival.
The Castrol Performance Pitstop will be the epicentre of cool, featuring dyno testing sessions and a hands-on tuner workshop for those who treat torque curves like sacred scripture. And for the aspiring daredevils, there’s the Drag Racing School, fronted by none other than international drag racing icon Rickey Gadson.
The weekend’s crescendo?
A face-off between Gadson and the fastest local dragster — now that’s the showdown we didn’t know we needed.
“We’re happy to continue our association with The Valley Run after a debut as title sponsor in the 2024 winter edition. The event’s energy, precision, and passion for performance closely reflects Castrol’s DNA. With Castrol Edge and Power1 igniting machines on the track, this allows us to engage with India’s growing motorsports community in a truly meaningful way”, said Castrol India Limited VP – marketing Rohit Talwar.
This ongoing partnership is no flash in the pan. It’s part of Castrol’s wider revved-up mission: fuelling India’s motorsports dreams, nurturing garage-grown talent, and pushing machines — and humans — to the absolute edge.
