ExxonMobil is elevating India’s fast-growing motorsports sector by powering the Indian Racing Festival this year, which features the first-ever F4 Indian Championship in the country and the second season of the Indian Racing League (IRL), being held at Chennai’s Madras International Circuit (MIC) and the new Formula Racing Circuit (FCR). This year will also mark another first in India and South Asia – an exciting calendar of night races at the FCR, located around the Island Grounds in the heart of the city.
ExxonMobil has partnered with Racing Promotions Pvt Ltd (RPPL) for the second year in a row, aiming to increase motorsports’ popularity and accessibility in India. The partnership was celebrated at the IRL Pre-Season Test at MIC, Chennai, where drivers showcased Mobil 1TM products and Mobil 1TM branding. ExxonMobil is providing confidence to racers with Mobil 1TM, a brand known for its exceptional engine performance. Vipin Rana, CEO–ExxonMobil Lubricants Pvt. Ltd., said: “The event will further spur the popularity of motorsports in the country.”
IRL Season 2 is India’s first franchised-based motorsports league, featuring seven city-based teams. It’s India’s only four-wheel racing league and the world’s first gender-neutral championship. IRL nurtures talent through internship programs.
