Asian Paints Causeway, Sri Lanka’s No. 1 auto refinish coatings company, proudly announces its role as the title sponsor of the highly anticipated Walawa Supercross 2025. Officially titled Asian Paints Causeway Walawa Supercross 2025, this marks the brand’s return to the iconic motorsport event after a five-year hiatus since 2019 — a milestone moment for both Asian Paints Causeway and the Sri Lankan motorsport community. The announcement was made at a press briefing hosted by the Sri Lanka Army’s Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (SLEME), the event’s co-hosts.
Scheduled for 12 and 13 July at the Craftsman Autodrome in Sevanagala, the 10th edition of the Walawa Supercross returns with renewed energy and excitement. Featuring 21 competitive segments across motorcar and motorcycle categories, the event is expected to attract a record crowd of over 50,000 spectators. More than just a race, Walawa Supercross is a charity-driven initiative, with proceeds supporting military welfare and community development projects, reflecting its strong ties to Sri Lankan society.
One of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated motor-racing champions, Ashan Silva, who has served as Asian Paints Causeway’s brand ambassador for over a decade, is expected to make an appearance at the event. Silva, known for his championship-winning performances in SL-GT racing, perfectly embodies the brand’s vision and pursuit of excellence.
Speaking about the sponsorship, Mr. Vaithilingam Kiritharan, Country Head of Asian Paints Causeway – Sri Lanka, said:
“Our longstanding partnership with Walawa Supercross is built on mutual respect and shared values. After a five-year pause, we are proud to return as the title sponsor, supporting the growth of Sri Lanka’s motorsport and automotive sectors. Through strategic collaborations and investments in youth skills, we are committed to uplifting the industry and contributing to nation-building. We look forward to a successful event and to continuing this trusted partnership for years to come.”
Asian Paints Causeway has been a trusted name in Sri Lanka’s auto refinishing industry for decades, offering a comprehensive portfolio of world-class coatings. Its involvement in Walawa Supercross reflects a broader commitment—not just to product excellence, but also to developing the local automotive ecosystem. The brand’s partnership with the Vocational Training Authority (VTA), which nurtures the next generation of skilled professionals in the automotive sector, further exemplifies this commitment.
Walawa Supercross 2025 will also feature the most advanced safety and surveillance infrastructure in its history, including 30 high-resolution CCTV cameras, alarm systems, and rapid-response marshals connected to a centralized command centre. These enhancements align with Asian Paints Causeway’s brand values of precision, preparation, and protection — qualities embedded in every product and partnership.
The Walawa Supercross 2025 race weekend promises thrilling championship races, a festive carnival atmosphere, and a historic celebration of speed and community spirit. Motorsport fans, families, and thrill-seekers are invited to experience this exciting new chapter in Sri Lankan motorsport.
