Aston Martin Racing will return to Le
Mans in 2008 to defend its GT1 title in the
distinctive blue and orange livery of Gulf
Oil. Two Aston Martin DBR9s will look to
emulate Gulf's first victory at the 24 hour
race 40 years on. This is arguably the
most important year ever for Gulf Oil in
motorsport history as the famous Gulf racing
colours first tasted victory at Le Mans
in 1968. 2008 will prove to be a great significance
for Gulf Oil with the joining up
with Aston Martin Racing. The two Aston
Martin DBR9s for 2008 will be entered as
numbers 007 and 009.
