Drag Star night race at Juhu airport

The Drag Star Night Race is returning for a second edition at Mumbai’s Juhu airport on May 25. Organised by Elite Octane (the same group behind The Valley Run), the event will be open to the public, but only limited tickets will be available.

  • 2024 Drag Star Night Race to take place on May 25
  • Will be held at Juhu airport
  • Open for superbikes and supercars

The first edition of the Drag Star Night Race, held in February 2022, saw motorsport return to the Juhu airport after nearly 40 years. The event was for supercars only, and the fastest time of the night was set Imran Majid’s highly tuned Nissan GT-R, which completed the quarter-mile sprint in 10.5 secs.

Autocar India also participated with an Audi RS e-tron GT. The four-door all-electric sedan made its drag racing debut in India with a time of 11.1 secs – making it the fastest production (stock) vehicle of the night, and the third fastest overall.
