Castrol EDGE Car Club Performance Drive – 10 finalists enjoyed some twisty roads and the Gymkhana Challenge

Castrol Malaysia has been actively promoting and working together with local car clubs ever since the Castrol EDGE Nurburgring Challenge was held in March earlier this year. The challenge which sent a winner to the “Green Hell” in Nurburgring was also supplemented by a contest specially designed for the car clubs.

This time around to mark the introduction of the new Castrol EDGE lubricant engineered with Titanium Fluid Strength Technology™, Castrol launched yet another contest for the local car clubs. Called the Castrol EDGE Car Club Contest, it required members of the clubs to send in creative images of themselves along with their beloved cars and a creative caption.

Contestants with the best and most creative images were then selected to take part in the Performance Drive event which was held on 12th November 2011. During the event which was participated by clubs including the NISMO Club, the Lancer GT Club, the Saga Club and so on, participants got the chance to drive along a specially designed route around the Klang Valley and Selangor.

The 4-hour drive which flagged off from the Kelab Golf Sultan Aziz Shah in Shah Alam was made up by a lot of windy roads around Jelebu and the hilly Hulu Langat area. During the drive, participants which had the new Castrol EDGE with Titanium Fluid Strength Technology™ in their engines got to experience the performance of the lubricant as they pushed their cars around the windy section at different altitudes.

This new lubricant is the most advanced and strongest from Castrol. The key ingredient to Castrol EDGE lubricant is the Titanium Fluid Strength Technology™, a new system that actively strengthens the oil. It is designed to continuously respond and adapt to the engine’s different requirements by minimizing metal-to-metal contact and maximizing engine performance.

The drive which also included some highway driving adjourned at the Tamarind Springs restaurant in Ampang for lunch. After charging up with some good food, the convoy which was led by a Nisssan Teana headed to the Shah Alam Stadium whereby a Gymkhana Challenge awaited the participants. At the challenge, participants had to drive around a set of cones as fast as possible with a manual Nissan Sentra in IMPUL trim, while trying to set the quickest time. The exercise was rather challenging and involved some reverse action too :)

As the Sun was disappearing into the horizon, members from the NISMO Club enjoyed a clean sweep of the podium with their top three quickest times. The event ended gracefully with a customary prize giving ceremony. The participants will now have to submit their respective reviews of the event and the most creative review will walk away with attractive prizes for their car clubs.
