Valencia, the birthplace of paella, famous for its beaches, it’s centuries-old architecture… and for the 2025 #MotoGP Grand Finale 😍🇪🇸 Circuit Ricardo Tormo’s 4km track is comprised of five right-handed corners, eight left-handed corners, and an 876m straight. Its compact nature and grandstand visibility makes it stand out as a fan favourite and as one of the most distinctive tracks in the calendar, as the entire track can be seen from any of the 65000 Grandstand seats!

Castrol ON is committed to make EVs better through continuous innovation and advanced products. Batteries being the heart of the vehicles get special attention: Castrol ON EV Thermal Fluids that are deployed in directly cooled batteries enable electric cars to charge faster and last longer* That’s why Castrol has partnered with LION Smart GmbH to facilitate the development of a new cutting-edge battery module for high-performance EV applications, combining LION Smart’s direct battery-cooling innovation with Castrol’s advanced thermal fluids and battery thermal management expertise. Consumer pain points of slow charging times and longevity of the battery can be alleviated through deployment of direct battery cooling, a cutting-edge approach that facilitates fast charging and discharging of battery cells that are submerged in a lightweight dielectric fluid. Castrol ON EV Thermal Fluids will be used to enable superior heat dissipation, enhance power density and improve battery lifespan and safety** However, this technology can be deployed in other segments, like electric trucks and BESS (battery energy storage) worldwide, bringing significant benefits as well. The alliance with LION Smart is part of Castrol’s strategic focus on direct battery cooling technologies and battery fluid innovation. The collaboration was highlighted at the recent Battery Show Europe, where experts from Castrol and LION Smart demonstrated the technology in action, showcasing its potential to significantly enhance the performance of PHEV applications through more efficient cooling and superior thermal balance**. We are very excited to bring the results of this partnership to our customers worldwide, tackling together the real-life challenges.
