On 14 March 2019, Natasha and KC Montero competed against the clock to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the 'Fastest Ascent of Doi Chang Mountain Road by Car'.

Highly competitive, they both customised their cars using different strategies - for the win! In the end, it was Natasha who took the coveted title with a record time of 6 minutes and 52.692 seconds.

The secret behind her amazing achievement: she powered her 28-year-car using Caltex with Techron®.

To celebrate, she recently joined Caltex at the One World Hotel in Petaling Jaya - to unveil the fuel that helped her power the world record. "Using Caltex with Techron®, the performance of the car we built from scratch for the attempt on a seemingly impossible timeline only got better, which resulted in us breaking new ground in fuel innovation," she said.
