Duster Track Attack at TAAL: drag racing and autocross on a runway | Branded Content | evo India

The Renault Duster Track Attack has been to a Formula 1 circuit. It has been taken to a dedicated motorsport facility. Now it has taken over a runway at TAAL, Hosur — and for the first time in the series, participants are going head-to-head in a standing start quarter-mile drag race. No corners. No braking zones. Just an endless straight, a 1.3-litre turbo GDI pushing well beyond 150kmph, and a chassis that stays completely planted at speeds most mid-size SUVs were never designed to see. Top speed runs on a runway demand everything from an engine — sustained high revs, maximum load, no relief. That is why Castrol is the performance partner keeping these engines running at their best through every demanding run. But the Renault Duster Track Attack is never just about straight-line speed. The runway also hosted an autocross layout — a tight technical circuit that put the Duster's handling, body control and agility on full display. Participants experienced threading through cones, discovering that the same car that plants itself at 150kmph also refuses to understeer through a tight autocross sequence. The verdict from everyone who drove it: all-rounder, phenomenal, a jet on an airstrip. The Duster Track Attack series has now covered a Formula 1 circuit at the BIC, a dedicated motorsport facility at CoASTT, and a full-length runway in Bengaluru. Each event has pushed the Renault Duster harder than the last. Next stop — Aamby Valley. #evoIndia #RenaultDuster #DusterTrackAttack #Duster #SUV #TrackDay #Runway #DragRacing #DragRace Want more #ThrillOfDriving videos?
