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

- 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.
