PETALING JAYA: Castrol has kicked off 2025 with high-impact developments in its motorcycle racing portfolio.
These include a new rider lineup for the Castrol Power1 Honda Yuzy Racing team in the Malaysian Cub Prix Championship and a collaboration with the Honda HRC Factory MotoGP Team.
Castrol will serve as the main sponsor and technical partner of the Honda HRC Factory MotoGP Team starting from the 2025 MotoGP season.
Under this collaboration, Castrol will supply lubricants, fuels, and technical support.
The newly named Honda HRC Castrol team made its on-track debut at the MotoGP pre-season test at Sepang International Circuit on Feb 5, 2025, with the season having officially kicked
off on March 2 in Buriram, Thailand.
“Castrol has a long history of using motorsport to showcase its technical capabilities and co-engineer new technologies,” said Castrol chief marketing officer Sandeep Sangwan.
Closer to home, Castrol Power1 Honda Yuzy Racing unveiled its new rider lineup ahead of the 2025 Petronas MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, which kicks off on April 19 and 20 at Sepang (North) International Circuit, Selangor.
The team welcomes two new additions — Muhammad Haziq Hakimy Kamaruddin and Aisy Izz Hafiy Hairul Hafiz — who join returning rider Aqeel Danish Zaiermanhady to compete in the fiercely contested CP125 category.
Both Haziq Hakimy and Aisy bring proven credentials from the Honda One Make Challenge, with Hakimy placing third in 2022 and Aisy finishing runner-up in 2021.
Their arrival signals a refreshed and ambitious push for podium finishes this season, following Md Haziq Hamdan’s third-place success in the ninth round of the 2024 season.
