Premium British sportswear brand Castore and McLaren Formula 1 have teamed up to produce the striking campaign and collection, 'What It Takes'. This season-long campaign illustrates the powerful synergies between the two iconic brands and the mutual idea of what it means to keep moving forward.
Holding a shared vision for innovation and breaking the status quo of engineering, Castore and McLaren use ‘What It Takes’ as a stimulant to fearlessly challenge convention in the pursuit of improvement.

The compelling campaign film features McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo sporting the new ‘What It Takes’ collection and tearing up the racetrack in their high power McLaren supercars. While the duo powerfully races while wearing the new collection, they push the narrative that when bravery gives you the power to perform, better never stops.
Norris and Riccardo will be wearing the McLaren Racing x Castore replica range throughout the 2022 F1 season and will be available to fans via a one-of-a-kind e-commerce platform run by Castore, which launched to market on January 19.
