To mark its 50th anniversary, the Mobil 1 brand has teamed up with Forza Motorsport, to invite gaming and motorsport fans from across Europe to compete in the ultimate online racing experience – the Mobil 1 Fastest on Forza.
Participants are challenged to set their very best lap times in ‘Rivals Event’ mode on the newly-branded Mobil 1 Maple Valley Raceway circuit while also attempting to beat times set by seven-time Formula One™ race winner Juan Pablo Montoya and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner Tyler Reddick.
The top 25 fastest lap times posted in each of the two ‘Rivals Event’ rounds will win a limited-edition Mobil 1 branded pro gaming racing kit. Winning entries must be residents of UK, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium or Turkey (other terms & conditions also apply – see link below).

Round 1 entry window: 24 Oct – 6 Nov (Juan Pablo Montoya – 1974 Toyota Celica GT)
Round 2 entry window: 28 Nov – 11 Dec (Tyler Reddick – 1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex)
Juan Pablo Montoya, former Formula One driver, says:
“So I’ve finished my lap, I think it’s pretty good and you guys are going to have a ton of fun trying to beat it. I thought I did a really good lap, it wasn’t perfect, but I think a 55.480 is quick. There are so many good racing gamers out there and I think a really good kid will look at my time and think they can beat it. It won’t be easy but it’ll certainly be close. I thought it was a cool idea behind choosing the 1974 Toyota Celica GT to race. This being the 50 years of Mobil 1, we searched for cars from ’74, I drive for Toyota, and that’s what came up and I thought let’s do that.”
Talking of rivals in his career, Montoya added: “I’ve had more than a few! With rivalries in the races, I’ve always been a big believer in whatever happens on the racetrack should stay on the racetrack. The other rivalry is more when you have a teammate where the team wants you to get on really well with them, but in the nicest way possible you want to ruin their day.”
