Castrol India Limited, a leading manufacturer of high-performance lubricants, returns as the Title Sponsor of The Valley Run – Summer edition 2025, an anticipated premium drag-racing festival in India. This sponsorship signifies Castrol’s commitment to accelerate the growth of motorsports and building a thriving community of racing enthusiasts and professionals in the country.
Back for its 14th edition, The Valley Run transforms the iconic Aamby Valley Airstrip into a high-performance arena from 11 to 13 April 2025, promising a turbocharged weekend packed with drag races, drifting, stunting, mud drags, and a spectacular lineup of superbikes and supercars. Over three action-packed days, the event is expected to attract over 700 participants and 17,000 spectators.
Castrol India will showcase its flagship performance products Castrol POWER1, Castrol EDGE and its Autocare product range. The on-ground Castrol Performance Pitstop will conduct dyno testing sessions and a tuner workshop. The pitstop will also feature the Drag Racing School, led by international drag racing legend Rickey Gadson. The weekend peaks with a face-off between Rickey Gadson and the fastest drag racer of the event.
Speaking on the brand’s continued association with The Valley Run, Mr. Rohit Talwar, Vice President – Marketing, Castrol India Limited, said, “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.”
Castrol’s ongoing role in The Valley Run echoes its larger vision for Indian motorsports—supporting talent, building communities and pushing the limits of performance both on and off the track.
