Changan South Africa partners with Lindenberg Racing for the 2026 season

Jameel Motors South Africa, the official distributor of Changan vehicles in South Africa, has announced a strategic partnership between Changan and Lindenberg Racing for the 2026 racing season, bringing together two brands with strong heritage, proven resilience and a shared commitment to performance.

Effective from March 1, 2026 to 28 February 2027, Changan South Africa will sponsor three vehicles to support the team’s activities across Gauteng, the Western Cape and beyond, including two Hunter Diesel AT 4×4 double cabs and one CS75 7-seater SUV.  

The vehicles will support Lindenberg Racing’s operations at race weekends, industry events and community initiatives across the country.

Established in 1976 and led by motorsport legend Peter Lindenberg, Lindenberg Racing has played a defining role in South African motorsport for nearly five decades, earning a reputation for excellence, precision and credibility.

The partnership reflects a natural fit with Changan, a brand built on more than 160 years of engineering heritage and trusted by more than 30 million drivers worldwide.

Commenting on the partnership, Marinus Venter, Country General Manager of Jameel Motors South Africa, said: “This partnership represents more than vehicle sponsorship.  It brings together two brands built on heritage, driven by performance and focused on the future.  

We are excited to support Lindenberg Racing in the season ahead and look forward to achieving great milestones together.”

As Changan South Africa continues to expand its footprint in the market, this partnership marks another important step in strengthening the brand’s visibility, credibility and long-term presence in South Africa.
