| Released promotionally for use in Germany to
celebrate the 100th anniversary of Castrol in 1999. Charles
Cheers Wakefield set up an oil company in 1899 and ten
years later he produced a new lubricant that he called
Castrol. The success of Castrol owes much to the original philosophy of Charles
Wakefield. Wakefield established the foundations of a
specialist lubricants company committed to premium
quality, high performance and leading edge technology. Through this company he
played a key role in the developing transport industries and the
pioneering days of record achievements. Castrol was often
chosen as the oil used in land speed records and this helped the development of
better and more efficient oils
