The achievement comes with the company’s new ‘G.O.A.T – Greatest On A Track’ campaign, which focuses on highlighting the performance-oriented character of the brand’s lineup in India.The record was created using a fleet of five Skoda models driven consecutively by five drivers in a single uninterrupted relay. The combined time recorded by the fleet was 12:30.97, including pit-lane driver changeovers, making it the fastest total relay time achieved by a single manufacturer on a circuit in the country.The relay featured the Kylaq 1.0 AT, Kushaq 1.5 DSG, Slavia 1.5 DSG, Kodiaq Selection L&K and the Octavia RS. Each car completed laps around the 3.8 km-long CoASTT circuit, with the Octavia RS emerging as the quickest model of the group after posting a lap time of 2:10.85.The newly launched Kylaq compact SUV completed its lap in 2:31.6, while the Kushaq recorded 2:29.7. The Slavia sedan clocked 2:27.63, and the Kodiaq Selection L&K managed a time of 2:26.34 despite being a large seven-seat luxury SUV with four-wheel-drive capability.According to Skoda Auto India, the relay format required every vehicle in the lineup to perform consistently under demanding conditions, including quick pit-lane changeovers. The company says the exercise was aimed at demonstrating the agility, braking capability, handling balance and overall dynamic strengths of its vehicles, which also contribute to better control and safety in everyday driving situations.Currently, Skoda Auto India sells models such as the Kylaq, Slavia, Kushaq and Kodiaq in the country.
