Lestercast: Over 50 Years of Casting Innovation Driving Motorsport Success

23 July 2025  

Since 1972, Lestercast has been at the forefront of high-performance investment casting, proudly supporting some of the world’s most demanding industries. From our advanced UK facility in Leicester, we produce over one million precision-engineered components annually, supplying 170 clients across more than 20 global sectors.

We are proud members of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) and have cultivated a vast network of relationships across every tier of motorsport, from elite global championships to cutting-edge EV and grassroots racing. This insider understanding of the motorsport ecosystem enables us to respond with the agility, precision, and speed the industry demands.

Motorsport components Lestercast deliver:

  • High-temperature exhaust components
  • Powertrain and gearbox castings
  • Turbochargers, cooling, and fuel system parts

We can manufacture castings in over 50 grades of ferrous, non-ferrous, and superalloy materials to meet the rigours of high-temperature, high-stress environments.

With in-house rapid prototyping, including 3D-printed wax patterns, we dramatically reduce lead times, giving your team the advantage of faster testing, quicker refinement, and earlier race-readiness without compromising quality or consistency.

Lestercast is IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited, JOSCAR registered and Fit For Nuclear (F4N) approved - proof that we build components to survive the most demanding conditions.
