Red Bull Moto Jam Sets Chennai on Fire with Speed, Stunts and Influencers Took Over the Track

Chennai’s Island Grounds became a high-octane playground on April 12, 2025, as Red Bull Moto Jam landed in the city with a roar. Celebrating motorsport in all its forms, the event brought together global stunt legends, celebrity guests, and India’s top content creators for an unforgettable evening of power, precision, and performance.

This wasn’t just about engines and exhausts; it was a carefully curated spectacle in which bikes flew, cars drifted, and social media exploded.

From the moment the event began, the crowd was hooked. Lebanese drifting legend Abdo Feghali took the wheel of a BMW M4 and lit up the track, performing high-speed drifts and quick spins, all while donning a yellow Chennai Super Kings jersey.

That thrill extended to the crowd as international freestyle motocross icons Sebastian Westberg, Vivian Ganther, and Thomas Wirnsberger stunned the audience with gravity-defying stunts on their bikes. Abdulrahman Ahmed Alraeesi added to the action by racing his car on two wheels. At the same time, Lithuania-based Arunas Gibieza (Aras), a regular performer in India, took bike stunts to new heights.
