The Organising Committee of the Castrol Superbike Fest 2026 recently convened its second press briefing in Khanh Hoa, offering fresh details and confirming rising interest from across the region. The meeting reinforced Castrol’s role as more than a supplier of oils: the company positions itself as a long-term partner of motorcycle culture, investing in events that bring riders together and spotlight the technical and lifestyle sides of the sport. Organisers from Ky Nguyen Group and local cultural authorities described the festival as an evolving platform that blends competition, community and tourism.
Responses from motorcycle groups have translated into concrete commitments: clubs and solo riders from the United States, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia are among those confirmed to attend, with registrations still open. Organisers estimate attendance will exceed 2,000 bikers and involve more than 100 motorcycle clubs, placing Nha Trang on the map as an emerging center for regional motorsport tourism. Mr. Doan Kieu Dzung, Chairman of Ky Nguyen Group, noted that curiosity and critical questions from the community signal serious engagement rather than indifference.
Event format and locations
The festival is scheduled to run for three days and two nights, from 29 to 31 May 2026, and will stitch together several coastal venues to create a continuous experience along the shoreline. Featured sites include April 2 Square, Thanh Nien Park and the Hon Do area, where public displays, rides and cultural activities will flow from one landmark to the next. This layout is intended to keep momentum across the festival footprint while offering visitors easy access to exhibitions, performances and rider meet-ups in a compact, beachfront setting.
Main attractions and programming
The programming mixes spectacle with hands-on encounters: expect large-displacement motorcycle showcases, a broad selection of custom bikes, and interactive speed and performance segments designed to engage both enthusiasts and casual spectators. The custom bike showcase has already attracted a number of striking modifications that organisers will display in the city’s central square, while community rides and cross-border biker exchanges will facilitate dialogue and skills-sharing between clubs. Another signature segment, Miss Motor 2026, has drawn more than 25 applicants so far and aims to highlight female riders who combine technique, confidence and personal style.
Experiences for riders and fans
Beyond static exhibits, the festival will offer immersive activities intended to test machines and connect people: timed demonstrations, riding clinics and group tours along scenic stretches of coastline. These components are designed to give participants a chance to sample high-performance setups and learn technical tips, while spectators will have front-row access to craftsmanship and athlete-style demonstrations. Organisers emphasise that these experiences are curated to balance excitement with safety and to promote a culture of responsible riding within the wider community.
Community impact and regional ambitions
Organisers view the event as a lever for long-term tourism and economic benefits across Khanh Hoa. By drawing international visitors and clustering activities in public spaces, the festival aims to stimulate local businesses and amplify the province’s profile as a destination for large-scale motor events. Mr. Pham Tuan Kiet, President of the Southern Goldwing Club & Riding Partners, portrayed the gathering as a vivid reflection of Vietnam’s motorcycling culture, where clubs from different countries meet openly and enthusiastically to trade ideas and celebrate shared passions.
Partnerships and technical support
The festival’s principal backer is Castrol BP Petco Co., Ltd., which serves as Diamond Sponsor, supported by a roster of regional and international partners in mobility, lifestyle and media. Technical sponsorship includes promotion of Castrol POWER1 Ultimate Superbike 10W50, a lubricant positioned as a performance-focused product for riders who demand reliability under stress. Organisers say the product will be showcased as part of the festival’s broader message about preparation, maintenance and the engineering that underpins safe high-speed riding.
