Würth, a leader in Sri Lanka’s automotive aftermarket industry, has renewed its successful partnership with National Racing Champion Ashan Silva for another year, reinforcing a collaboration built on shared values of performance, precision, and reliability. As Würth’s brand ambassador for its range of automotive products and solutions, Ashan will continue to showcase the quality and dependability of Würth’s automotive products and solutions both on Sri Lanka’s racing circuits and among everyday motorists.
“Renewing our partnership with Ashan reflects the confidence we have built through a relationship founded on shared values rather than sponsorship alone. Ashan’s unwavering commitment to excellence and precision mirrors the values that define the Würth brand. Whether on the racetrack or in the workshop, our customers rely on products that perform consistently under demanding conditions. Ashan is therefore a natural ambassador for our brand, and we look forward to building on this successful partnership in the year ahead,” said Würth Lanka Ltd., Managing Director Suranga Kekuluwalage.
Ashan started his racing career with an Evolution 3 in 2006, the fastest class of racing car at that time. He went on to win the SLGT race in 2009, marking a special and unforgettable moment in his racing career, having beaten higher-class cars including Evolution 9, 10, and brand new Subarus driven by high-caliber, recognised drivers. Since then, Ashan has competed in over 30 national-level races and secured over 500 podium positions. Having won over 25 podium positions, Ashan’s record in overseas races is also impressive, including winning the Dubai National Champion title in 2016. Ashan has set unbeaten records in almost every track in Sri Lanka, including Mahagasthota and Eliyakanda hill climbs, and Fox Hill, Gajaba, Walawa, Cavalry, Colombo, and Katukurunda supercrosses. He has also won the “Driver of the Day” award on over 80 occasions, sealing his position as a national racing champion, an accomplishment which is hard to beat.
“I am proud to continue my association with Würth. In motorsport, every component matters, and I value products that consistently deliver performance under demanding conditions. I look forward to continuing to represent a brand that shares my commitment to excellence and performance,” said Ashan Silva, commenting on the renewed partnership for 2026/27.
Furthermore, under the concept of the “Champions’ Choice’ sponsorship programme, Würth sponsors all racing champions, who in turn use and recommend Würth products, making Würth naturally the champions’ choice.
