Join The Castrol EDGE Experience Nurburgring contest to win a trip to the Nurburgring to drive a BMW M3!

It’s a name that has had a long and distinguished association with motor racing. Castrol, which made its debut in 1909, has certainly been in the thick of it all where motorsports is concerned, and in the early days, you could even smell its winning ways on track!

Indeed, Castrol founder C.C Wakefield’s Castrol “R” lubricant was once universally synonymous with motor racing, and in those heady, cavalier days, the air around British race tracks was filled with the pungent aroma of Castrol R wafting out from exhausts – the castor oil-based formulation, which could withstand the extreme heat and friction that early high-powered engines were subject to, also gave it a distinct scent through emissions. It was also the oil which gave the brand its name.

Wakefield’s products also played a prominent part in pre-WW II speed record-breaking activities – a great many racers broke air, land and water speed records during the 1920s and 1930s in rides using Castrol oil, and the Castrol name has featured proudly as lubricant supplier in the setting of no less than 21 world land speed records, including that of the current record holder, the Thrust SSC. So even from those days, Castrol has shown that it can perform under extreme pressure inside the engine just like how top drivers need to perform on the track.

The company has long been associated with racing, notably Formula 1, and to this day Castrol’s dedication in formulating lubricants able to withstand extreme situations like that of a high performance engine has remained at the core of its product engineering. And I’m thankful for that, because it’s due to Castrol’s obsession in walking the high performance talk that we’re able to bring to you this – the Castrol EDGE Experience Nurburgring contest!

Yes, come up tops in the Castrol EDGE Experience Nurburgring and you’ll win yourself a trip to the legendary race track, where you’ll be taking on those corners in no less than a 414 hp BMW M3! Sounds like fun? Well, here’s how you can start getting on your way:
