As Ducati embarks on its monumental 100-year anniversary in 2026, commemorating a century of transforming a 'Made in Italy' dream into a global symbol of excellence, passion, style, and innovation since its founding in 1926, the luxury motorcycle brand formally initiated its global centenary celebrations in India.
This landmark occasion commenced with an exclusive DRE Track Day event held at Buddh International Circuit (BIC). This high-octane celebration brought together Ducati owners and their families for a day dedicated to performance, community engagement, and the spirit of motorcycling, further enhanced by a spectacular stunt showcase from Official Ducati stunt rider Emilio Zamora for the first time in India.
The DRE Track Day, open exclusively for Ducati owners, welcomed the participation of over 70 Ducatisti providing them with the unique opportunity to experience the thrill of riding their motorcycles on a world-class racing circuit. Apart from Open sessions, the event also featured 3 levels of training – Intro, Evo and Master, ably led by DRE Certified instructors Rishi Agarwal, Anand Dharmaraj and Dilip Lalwani, who also holds the record for the fastest lap on a production superbike (1:54:926 on 2025 Panigale V4S).
Speaking on the occasion, Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India, stated, “As Ducati commemorates 100 years globally, India stands as a crucial market where the brand’s passion continues to intensify year after year. The DRE Track Day at BIC, coupled with Emilio Zamora’s electrifying performance and our sundowner celebration, is more than an event; it represents a celebration of our community, our rich heritage, and the distinctive thrill that defines every Ducati. Our Ducatisti are central to all our endeavours, and this centenary year is dedicated to fostering their connection with the brand through unforgettable experiences.”
