Pune: The summer heat just got a nitro boost as Castrol India Limited revs up its engines once again—returning as the Title Sponsor of The Valley Run – Summer 2025, India’s most anticipated drag-racing fiesta. If there were ever a time to burn rubber and break records, it’s now.
Held at the iconic Aamby Valley Airstrip, the 14th edition of The Valley Run is transforming the serene Sahyadris into a speed-crazed sonic boom from April 11 to 13. Expect over 700 participants, 17,000+ spectators, and enough horsepower to scare the clouds away. With superbikes, supercars, and mud-slinging monsters all on the same turf, it’s less a weekend event and more a three-day adrenaline overdose.
But wait, there’s more than just high-octane bragging rights. Castrol is showcasing its performance dream team:
- Castrol Edge – For engines that want to whisper and scream at the same time.
- Castrol Power1 – Because your bike deserves to feel like a rocket ship.
- Castrol Autocare – Turning garage warriors into pit-stop professionals.
At the Castrol Performance Pitstop, expect dyno testing, a tuner workshop, and something called a Drag Racing School—which is basically Hogwarts, but with more helmets and less homework. Legendary American drag racer Rickey Gadson is returning to teach, tune, and (probably) terrify fellow racers before a grand face-off against the fastest local dragster on Day 3.
Speaking on the turbocharged tie-up, Rohit Talwar, Vice President – Marketing at Castrol India, said:
“The Valley Run is not just about racing—it’s about rhythm, precision, and a shared passion for performance. We’re proud to fuel that passion again. With our Edge and Power1 products, we’re not just keeping engines cooler—we’re keeping the spirit of motorsport alive and loud.”
From rev-happy rookies to seasoned track warriors, The Valley Run Summer 2025 is where Castrol’s high-performance philosophy meets India’s pedal-to-the-metal obsession. And if you thought summer was hot already… just wait till the burnout smoke clears.
