The Valley Run 2025: Fastest cars, bikes

Playing host to over 900 participants and 22,000 spectators over a period of three days, Valley Run 2025 welcomed significantly more visitors than last year’s event. While drag racing remained central to the fast-paced action, this year’s Valley Run Winter Edition also included a separate drifting event with Gautam Singhania participating as the chief guest. Some of the categories involved superbikes and supercars, along with specially-tuned mainstream cars and bikes.

The fastest car was Imran Majid’s Nissan GT-R, tuned by Mumbai-based Kik-Shift Performance. This GT-R recorded a quarter-mile time of 9.327 seconds, which is quicker than his previous record of 9.35 seconds set at the Valley Run 2024 Winter Edition. Tuned by Kerala-based Team Fast Track Racing, the fastest bike was Ali Mon’s Kawasaki Ninja H2, which recorded a quarter-mile time of 9.661 seconds.

Mumbai-based Gaurav Shetty recorded a quarter-mile time of 9.881 seconds with his race-spec Volkswagen Polo. With a time of 9.996 seconds, Hyderabad-based Kasareni Dhana Sreeram Chowdary drove a Skoda Octavia RS tuned by MODCREW/Venom Performance. Joining the fray and further showcasing India’s booming performance scene was Naveen Reddy Kesara, whose A S Motorsport-tuned BMW 530D recorded 13.228 seconds to the quarter mile.

Clocking 10.065 seconds was Altaf Khan from Team JA Tuners, riding a Daytona 675. Mumbai’s Sarah Khan recorded a time of 10.692 seconds on a Suzuki Hayabusa, becoming the fastest female rider at the 2025 Valley Run. Claiming the title of the ‘fastest Indian bike’, with a time of 11.721 seconds, was Delhi’s Salman Khan on a Yamaha RD350, which was tuned by Team Delhi Garage Performance Racing.

Representing Team Fast Track Racing was Syed Imran, whose KTM 390 posted a timing of 11.732 seconds, becoming India’s fastest KTM. Meanwhile, Samantha D’Souza on a Kawasaki Ninja 400, recorded 11.826 seconds to the quarter mile. There was also a ‘fastest wheelie’ record of 8.657 seconds, posted by Ajit Suvarna on a Honda CBR 1000RR.

Saurabh Parab was also a participant at the 2025 Valley Run with his tuned 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000. A National Drag Racing Champion in the Supersports category plus a ‘Fastest Wheelie’ title holder, Saurabh’s GSX-R1000’s modifications include a lowered ride height, remapped ECU, Sprint air filter, Brock’s exhaust, and BST carbon-fibre wheels worth Rs 4 lakh. “In the future, I plan to install a stretched rear swingarm and a new suspension set-up, which will help me set a quarter-mile time of around 9.3-9.4 seconds,” Saurabh told us.

Speaking about the 2025 Valley Run was Rongom Tagore Mukerji, director of Elite Octane and promoter of the event; “I am overwhelmed by the amazing response of the 15th edition of The Valley Run. The brilliant showcase of vehicles and seeing amazing run timings not just by the supercars and superbikes – but the built vehicles was a treat.”

“A true testament to progress when built vehicles start hitting sub 10s timings. The massive support of sponsors, huge crowd to cheer the race participants and special segments made it a grand success. Looking forward to an exciting 2026 to take the platform to greater heights,” Mukerji added.

With drag racing growing at a rapid rate in India, events like the Valley Run find the support of brands such as Castrol, Suzuki Motorcycles, Monster Energy, Campa, and Big Boy Toyz.
