When Gulf took its first victory at Le Mans?

The American oil brand entered the world of motor racing in 1968, in the company of the famous head of John Wyer Engineering Automotive. It was that year, and the debut of the famous orange and blue livery, that the oil company would score its first Le Mans victory. It would also compete with John Wyer in 1969 and 1975. In both years, the tanker would once again win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first two times aboard a Ford GT40 and in 1975 aboard the Mirage GR8.

To pay tribute to this 1968 victory, GrandPrix Originals has designed a collection of automotive clothing with nods to this moment in history. The German brand has released a polo shirt that can be considered a piece of history. A polo shirt that reminds us of the victory of John Wyer 's team, the man who enabled Gulf to win at Le Mans and, above all, in the world of automobiles. A quality garment with automotive details, notably the number 9 flocked to the sleeve, representing the number of the Ford GT40 MK1 that won Le Mans in 1968. A polo shirt reminiscent of the German brand, with a darker-than-usual blue color. But it's a discreet, elegant color that means it can be worn everywhere. Whether you're taking your classic car for a spin, or simply attending a motoring event. A polo shirt you can wear if you want to adopt a " Gentleman Driver " style, created by car enthusiasts for car enthusiasts.
