The weekend coincides with Women’s Day, and Zwartkops will be a sea of pink in honour of the occasion. All participating teams are encouraged to incorporate the colour into their cars or uniforms, and the Lindenberg Racing team will don pink caps to pay tribute to the role of women in motorsport.

“This weekend we have a very full schedule,” says Lindenberg.

“For the first time in a long time, we will be racing on Women’s Day. Our team is leading three championships so far for the year, and we have two races left.”

Lindenberg will compete in her Ford Fairlane, supported by teammates James Temple (Ford Capri Perana), Djurk Venter (Shelby Daytona Coupe), and newcomer Alistair Simpson (1968 MK1 Ford Escort).

The Historic Championship typically features seven to eight races per season, with the driver collecting the most points crowned champion. Lindenberg currently leads both her class and the overall standings.
