GEDORE South Africa sponsoring Shield Racing Team

Car rallies over rough and rocky terrain

GEDORE tools put to the test

GEDORE South Africa is sponsoring the Shield Racing Team with high quality tools for the repair and maintenance of their racing vehicles.

Remscheid, March 2017 – Car races through the dusty deserts and savannas of South Africa are an endurance test for man and machine. All the more reason for the Shield Racing Team to welcome the support of GEDORE South Africa. The globally renowned tool manufacturer's local branch has been sponsoring the racing team since 2014 as a product partner – and thus making a decisive contribution to many rally successes.

The Shield Racing Team around George Smalberger and Chris Brand is named after the main sponsor Shield Chemicals. For many years it has participated in regional and national track and rally racing events in South Africa. For high-end races like the Extreme Supercar Series the drivers use a Golf 5 GTI. In the smaller National and Northern region rallies a VW Polo is the team's vehicle of choice.

With quality tools to success

Good racing performance at the highest level comes from driving skill and perfect vehicles. Thanks to the outstanding quality, precision and durability of the GEDORE tools, the Shield Racing Team can always count on their vehicles being in top shape and that maintenance and repair work will be carried out quickly and smoothly.
