Summarize

Established by Peter Lindenberg in 1979, Lindenberg Racing emerged from the world of waterski racing before moving on up to international Formula 1 Powerboat Racing. Then the team moved onto terra firma when Peter took to the tarmac in 1983, making his car racing debut in the Group 1 production class at Kyalami. 

Over the years, Peter has been a dominant force in motorsport, winning 23 national championships over three decades, but recognizing the future potential of Historic Car Racing worldwide, Lindenberg Racing moved to become South Africa’s most professional and competitive historic race car team.

Peter has since won the 2014 Sports and GT championship, but now Lindenberg Racing enters a new chapter as a historic endurance racing team with Peter and Paige Lindenberg teamed up as SA’s only father/daughter team racing a Shelby Daytona Coupe.  Peter and Paige will also race a number of other high profile events in the new Shelby Mustang and Perana Bakkie, as well as in The Historic Tour in their Ford Fairlane and Cortina, while team members Djurk and Kirsten Venter will be back in action for 2017 too.

Historic Racing’s 2016 Team of the Year, Lindenberg Racing is a professional and well-promoted outfit competing in among the strongest motorsport series in the country and the only one with regular international participation.

Allied to the historic race effort, Lindenberg Racing will also run the Shelby South Africa team focused on alternative motorsports the likes of the Simola Hillclimb, drags and all-tar rallies with Peter racing Shelby Ranger 600 and Paige pedaling a Castrol Edge Shelby Super Snake. Both cars will further be co-sponsored by Hollard with additional backing from Sabat, Herschell, GES, 1st Race and Aquelle.
