Castrol, Shelby and Lindenberg Racing team up for success

First Quarter 2025 News & events

Castrol and Lindenberg Racing, together with Shelby South Africa “the official mod-shop of Shelby American in sub-Saharan Africa” are once again a hot item. With a rich 35 year history of association with the highly successful Lindenberg Racing Team and more recently Shelby South Africa, Castrol is again an official partner in 2025.

Castrol will be the approved and preferred supplier of all lubricants for Shelby vehicle servicing and for the Lindenberg Racing team, and their sponsorship will help support the logistics and operations of the team throughout 2025 and 2026.

“Shelby South Africa and Lindenberg Racing are big names in performance vehicles and wield significant star power in the local motorsport arena,” says Jenny Heyes, marketing director for Africa at Castrol.

Shelby, a custom performance vehicle manufacturer, is known globally for its premium upgrade of Ford Mustangs and famously for the Shelby-enhanced Ford Mustang GT40’s string of wins from 1966 to 1969 against Ferrari at Le Mans. Shelby South Africa was launched in 2016 by local racing legend Peter Lindenberg. It offers a variety of upgrades for Mustangs purchased at Ford dealerships.

“Castrol is not just another sponsor”, says Lindenberg. “Our service engineers and race car technicians swear by these products. When it comes to high-performance vehicles of this caliber, you need lubricants that ensure you can get the best from the car when you need it most. It is an excellent brand we are pleased to use and be associated with.”
