Red Bull Moto Jam 2026 headlined by F1 star Arvid Lindblad
18-year-old drives 2012 RB8 in Greater Noida on 1 March, FMX, stunts and big partners join the party.
MUMBAI: The Red Bull Moto Jam is revving up to turn Greater Noida into a roar zone because when an F1 youngster pilots a championship-winning RB8, even the asphalt might ask for an autograph. The second edition of Red Bull Moto Jam is set for 1 March 2026 at India Expo Centre, Greater Noida, and it’s already shaping up as one of the most electric motorsport-fan spectacles of the year. Headlining the show is Formula 1 rising star Arvid Lindblad, the 18-year-old British-Swedish talent, who will take the wheel of Sebastian Vettel’s 2012 RB8 freshly liveried in Visa Cash App Racing Bulls colours. That very car clinched the F1 Indian Grand Prix in Delhi NCR back in 2012 en route to a historic double World Championship. After 14 years, the naturally aspirated 2.4-litre V8 is returning to shake the ground and melt hearts in the same region.
Lindblad, on his third trip to India, will be joined by a stacked lineup of motorsport legends, Guinness record-holding drift king Abdo Feghali (Lebanon), iconic stunt biker Aras Gibieza, UAE drift and stunt driver Abdulrahman Alraeesi, freestyle motocross rider Sebastian Westberg, Russian Supercross champion Roman Karymov, and UK-Spain based FMX star Greg Rowbottom. The machines rounding out the spectacle include a BMW M3 E92, Triumph Street Triple, Land Cruiser 100, Kawasaki KX 450, and KTM 450SX.
The event fuses high-octane FMX competitions, jaw-dropping trick sessions, precision stunt riding, immersive fan zones, and a solid dose of F1 nostalgia. Adding fuel to the fire is a strong partner lineup, Oneplus, Duolingo English Test, Fastrack, Zepto, Confluent, Bisleri, Bookmyshow, Dream Set Go, ExpoInn, and Laqshya Media Group.
Oneplus India marketing director Ishita Grover said the partnership aligns with the brand’s boundary-pushing ethos, with the Oneplus 15R ready to capture every high-speed moment. Duolingo English Test market head Tara Kapur highlighted how motorsport inspires students chasing global careers. Fastrack’s Danny Jacob noted the racing-inspired Overdrive collection launch fits perfectly into youth culture. Confluent AVP Rubal Sahni drew parallels between split-second racing decisions and data-driven business velocity.
With fans, creators, and legends converging under one roof, Red Bull Moto Jam 2026 isn’t just an event, it’s where adrenaline, heritage, and tomorrow’s stars collide in a weekend that’s bound to leave tyre marks on memories.
