Aston Martin Racing will return to Le Mans rn in 2008 to defend its GT1 title in the distinctive blue and orange rn livery of Gulf Oil.
rn
rn Two Aston Martin DBR9s will look to emulate Gulf’s first victory at rn the 24 hour race 40 years on.
rn
rn Alain Dujean, Gulf Oil vice president international, said: “This is rn arguably the most important year ever for Gulf in motorsport. The rn famous Gulf racing colours first tasted victory at Le Mans in 1968, rn so 2008 already had great significance for us, but for Gulf to have rn joined up with Aston Martin Racing for this year is fantastic – the rn coming together of two great automotive names, for what I hope will rn be a long and fruitful partnership.”
rn
rn David Richards, chairman of Aston Martin, said: “Endurance racing is rn engrained in the heritage of both Gulf and Aston Martin and we have rn also both been intrinsically linked through Le Mans for many rn decades. It was perhaps destined that, in the year we defend our GT1 rn title and Gulf celebrates the 40th anniversary of its win, we would rn finally race together at La Sarthe.”

rn The two Aston Martin DBR9s for 2008 will be entered as numbers 007 rn and 009.
