New Delhi, August 23, 2024 – The Indian Racing Festival (IRF) has announced a thrilling partnership with Mobil, a global leader in motor oils, as the official Performance Sponsor for its 2024 season. This collaboration promises to infuse the festival’s high-octane events with Mobil’s five decades of expertise, ensuring top-tier performance and reliability on the track.
The IRF, which features the Indian Racing League (IRL) and the Formula 4 Indian Championship (F4IC), will benefit from Mobil’s cutting-edge lubricants, designed to push the limits of automotive performance. Mobil 1’s synthetic engine oils, specifically the 5W-40 variant, are set to power the six teams of the IRL and the eight teams of F4IC, offering unparalleled cleaning power and wear protection both on and off the racetrack.
“Mobil’s exceptional expertise and unwavering dedication to innovation seamlessly align with IRF’s mission to deliver extraordinary racing experiences,” said Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of Racing Promotions Private Limited (RPPL), the promoters of IRF. “By integrating Mobil’s superior lubricants and motor oils, we will ensure that our cars perform at their peak, delivering an exhilarating spectacle for our fans while upholding the highest safety standards throughout the season.”
This partnership comes at a milestone moment as Mobil celebrates its 50th anniversary. Over the past five decades, Mobil 1 has become the world’s leading synthetic motor oil brand, continually pushing the boundaries of automotive lubricant technology.
“We are excited to partner with the Indian Racing Festival, a platform that aligns perfectly with our dedication to innovation and performance,” said Vipin Rana, CEO of ExxonMobil Lubricants Pvt. Ltd. “With ExxonMobil’s cutting-edge technology and IRF’s unwavering commitment to the Indian motorsports ecosystem, we are confident that this collaboration will elevate performance on the tracks this season and provide drivers and fans with an outstanding experience. We look forward to fueling the excitement and contributing to the success of this premier event.”
The IRF, promoted by RPPL, is set to captivate India’s growing motorsports fanbase with two premier championships: the franchise-based Indian Racing League (IRL) and the Formula 4 Indian Championship (F4IC).
