Red Bull Moto Jam is set to be India’s biggest motorsport festival, taking place at Island Grounds, Chennai, on 12th April.
With Chennai regarded as the motorsports capital of India, it was the obvious choice for hosting this first-of-a-kind celebration of motorsports.
Red Bull Moto Jam will bring together multiple disciplines, most notable of which are drifting, stunt biking, freestyle motocross (FMX), and stunt cars.

The daring athletes behind the wheels and handlebars of these high-powered motor vehicles will fly through the air and burn rubber on tarmac to entertain the audience. And some of them are established Guinness World Record holders.
From the thunderous sound of engines to the mesmerizing flips in the air, every second at Red Bull Moto Jam promises to deliver an experience unlike any other. The event seamlessly blends motorsports with culture, offering fans an unforgettable spectacle that celebrates Chennai’s deep-rooted passion for speed and competition.
Aras Gibieža visited Chennai in the start of March to perform at SSN College of Engineering. It was his third time performing in the city over his many years of visiting India. He reiterated his passion for performing in Chennai, citing the city’s love for the sport.
“Chennai is the heart of motorsports in India, and the people really appreciate the tricks when I’m performing. I generally feel very welcome in India, and especially here in Chennai. I feel like the crowd in Chennai may not exactly know what I’m doing, but they kind of understand the difficulty of the tricks [because they understand motorsports],” says Aras.
While Aras has performed for over 100,000 people at once, he is looking forward to making a stronger connection with a limited crowd at Red Bull Moto Jam.
“I love those shows where I have less space to perform, but I have people all around so they can see every move I’m doing. It’s much more intimate, so I like it. And Red Bull Moto Jam will be exactly that kind of show,” he says.
Aras has been performing stunt biking for over 15 years. He has collaborated on cross-discipline tandem tricks with drift cars and FMX riders in the past. But he is excited about Red Bull Moto Jam because he will be performing with these particular athletes for the first time.
“Performing with this set of drivers and riders will be new for me. I’ve met Abdo once; when I was in Poland to perform at Red Bull Car Park Drift. We hadn’t performed together then, but he took me for a spin in his drift car.
“[Performing with everyone for the first time] will be tricky and challenging, yes. But we are professionals. We have been doing these shows with Red Bull internationally since 2010, and we are the best in the game. We trust each other completely because we are part of the same family.”
