Team Aguri has confirmed Gulf as its new title sponsor, ahead of this weekend’s Formula E Mexico ePrix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
The team’s two all-electric single-seaters will run with new liveries, sporting the iconic Gulf blue and orange racing colours.
It is Gulf’s first foray into electric motorsport. The brand’s colour scheme has graced many iconic racing machines, with a rich history in motorsport.
"We are delighted to see Gulf make its debut in FIA Formula E with Team Aguri to continue our heritage of racing excellence," said Gulf vice president Frank Rutten.
"Our participation in this event maintains Gulfs long history of being at the forefront of innovation in all aspects of our business.
"The move reflects the changing focus of the automotive industry, with manufacturers increasingly focusing on the development of electric and hybrid vehicles.
"These new vehicles will require new lubricant solutions to ensure they run at optimum efficiency and to support the evolving technologies that will provide increased range, faster charging and greater durability. The Gulf brand’s involvement in Formula E will put us at the forefront of these developments."
