Over 400 participants competed in Castrol’s simracing championship

The Unleashed Youth Simracing Championship has officially concluded at Sunway Pyramid on August 17.

The final round of the championship, organized by Cove Circuit and sponsored by Castrol Malaysia, saw over 400 participants from across Malaysia competing for a total prize pool of RM30,000.

More than 349 competitors participated in the male category, while the female category featured 93 racers, highlighting the increasing interest in sim racing among women.

The male category champion took home a grand prize of RM6,000, while the female category champion received RM3,000.

Visitors were also entertained by Malaysian motorsports icon Leona Chin, singer Ismail Izzani, content creator Taufiq Hannafi, and other local personalities.

The championship was part of Castrol’s broader initiative that combined the excitement of motorsports with an engine care awareness campaign through a series of roadshows at several universities in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru.

In addition to demonstrations on the proper use of engine oil—such as Castrol EDGE, which can enhance power, acceleration, and engine durability—consumers also enjoyed exclusive promotions for Castrol EDGE and Castrol MAGNATEC products throughout the event.

Also this year, Castrol successfully captured the attention of over 100,000 visitors at the Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur (TASKL) with a display of a Castrol livery painting on the legendary JDM Nissan Silvia S14 by Zameer Pentbrush, alongside interactive activities and opportunities to win various exciting prizes.
