The roar of engines has returned with the Indian Racing Festival 2025, India’s biggest motorsport showcase, kicking off at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. Leading the charge once again is Mobil1, onboarded as the official performance partner for the season after a successful collaboration in 2024.

The festival features both the Indian Racing League and the FIA-certified Formula 4 Indian Championship. The IRL continues to stand out as the only franchise-based, gender-neutral four-wheel racing league in India, where international drivers, homegrown racers, and female athletes compete together in a shared-car format. The F4IC, on the other hand, offers young drivers their first FIA-accredited pathway to higher tiers of racing while allowing them to earn coveted Super Licence points on home soil.

Mobil1’s advanced synthetic engine oils are once again at the heart of the action. Every car on the track is powered by Mobil 1™ 5W-40, a full-synthetic oil with a triple-action formula that enhances protection, delivers deep cleaning, and ensures consistent performance even under the extreme conditions of professional racing. For a sport where every fraction of a second matters, Mobil1 provides reliability and endurance that racers can trust.

Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of Racing Promotions Pvt. Ltd., described Mobil1 as the perfect partner. He emphasized that the brand’s consistency in performance and its legacy in motorsport align seamlessly with the festival’s vision of elevating Indian racing to global standards.

ExxonMobil Lubricants CEO Ankush Khanna added that the partnership goes beyond just racing. It represents shared values of innovation and ambition. According to him, the Indian Racing Festival is shaping the future of motorsport in India, and Mobil1 is proud to help fuel the dreams of a new generation of drivers and engineers.

Kapil Mittal, Director of Consumer Marketing for South Asia Pacific at Mobil, highlighted that high-performance racing demands precision and resilience, qualities that Mobil1 oils are engineered to deliver. By partnering with IRF, the brand not only proves its capability on the track but also strengthens the motorsport ecosystem in India.

With five race weekends planned across iconic circuits from August to November, the 2025 season promises to test skill, speed, and endurance like never before. The blend of cutting-edge technology, rising local talent, and global racing standards is positioning the Indian Racing Festival as a game-changer in the country’s sporting calendar.

As the engines fire up and the tracks heat up, Mobil1 and IRF together are pushing Indian motorsport into a new era of global credibility, inclusivity, and high-octane competition.
