Castrol, a global leader in lubricants and part of the bp group, is kicking off its 125th year by becoming the Official Motor Oil of Barrett-Jackson, including the presenting sponsor of the Barrett-Jackson Cup, to further strengthen its support of the automotive enthusiast community.

Castrol will be announcing additional experiential partnerships and new product innovations throughout its 125-year anniversary, reflecting the brand's unwavering commitment to meeting the future needs of the automotive community.

Widely regarded as the nation's premier custom car and truck building competition, Barrett-Jackson Cup participants are renowned for pushing the boundaries of performance ? a spirit which Castrol strongly embraces. Fifty custom builders will compete for two awards: "Ultimate Best in Show," selected by two distinguished builders, and the "People's Choice Award," voted on by fans via Barrett-Jackson's website (Cup.Barrett-Jackson.com). Winners will be announced on January 28.

"Castrol is honored to be the Official Motor Oil of Barrett-Jackson and we applaud the talent, craftsmanship, and drive of the Cup participants who embody the highest level of automotive enthusiasm and reflect the spirit of the Castrol brand," says Andreas Osbar, VP Castrol Americas. "What better way to head into our 125th year, which is all about bringing to market even better products and experiences designed to satisfy the world's changing needs and set the new performance standard in our industry."

The Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Auction is the perfect venue to debut Castrol's vibrant new branding in the U.S. Retaining the signature red, white, and green colors of one of the world's most distinctive logos, the visualization has been refreshed to build upon past equity while representing a bridge to the future.
