Gulf Western Oils Racing will have a new team member at this Clipsal 500 this weekend … Gulfy!
The team’s mascot, replicating a bottle of Gulf Western Oil, will be at the Adelaide street circuit this weekend, mingling with fans and followers of V8 Supercars and the #30 Gulf Western Commodore of Warren Luff.
Team owner Lucas Dumbrell says that having a mascot is a nice addition to its sponsorship package.
“Gulfy is going to be involved with the team to give us a bit of extra support,” Dumbrell told Speedcafe.com.
“I’m not exactly sure what his racing specialties are, but I know he’s got a good engineering brain … not too sure if he’ll be involved in our debriefs though!
“I just think it’s a good thing to have. It’s a fun promotion and we hope that Gulf Western Oils gets some good exposure from it.”
