Gulf To Sponsor Aston Martin At Le Mans

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Gulf Oil racing colors will adorn a pair of Aston Martin DBR9’s for the famous 24hr Le Mans race in 2008. Gulf Oil’s first Le Mans winning car, the powder blue and orange painted Ford GT40 driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi, took the win back in 1968. A car very few of us forget, and even more of us dream about. Since then Gulf has sponsored many other Le Mans contenders such as the Porsche 917, and  in 2001 the Audi Sport UK R8.
