This announcement means that Castore will continue to provide teamwear and merchandise for the McLaren Formula 1 Team from the 2023 season and will extend its support to McLaren’s race series from 2024.

The response to our team kit and fanwear has been hugely positive, and Castore has embraced our bold McLaren identity through great collaboration and ambition.

“It’s crucial to have partners who value the power of McLaren’s racing portfolio beyond Formula 1, so we are excited to take this journey to the next level by unifying the look of our other race series.”

The sportswear retailer will provide team apparel and fanwear for the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team, NEOM McLaren Extreme E Team and the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team from 2024. This expanded offering supports Castore’s pursuit of becoming a leading supplier in the world of motorsport.

Rich Brooks, Brand Director at Castore, added: “It’s a true testament to our Better Never Stops ethos, that we have been able to not only extend our partnership with one of the most prestigious F1 Teams in McLaren, but also to go deeper in supporting their wider race series teams.

"There are some wonderful synergies between the brands, and we are really looking forward to highlighting them over the years and continue to provide the fans with new and innovative products.”
