Castrol has boosted the efforts of the organisers of the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb by joining the elite group of partners as the official lubricants and media service partner from 2019.
The three-year agreement sees one of the world’s leading lubricants brands join the elite group of sponsors and partners of the annual Knysna-based Hillclimb, which is widely regarded as South Africa’s premier motoring and motorsport lifestyle event – taking place this year from 3 to 5 May.

“It is our goal to also make the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb a household name in South Africa and abroad. We have some work to do to match Castrol’s renown, but we are confident that this partnership will play a huge role in our efforts to achieve that goal.”
