Ice Pol Racing Team switched from a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR to a Ferrari F430 GTC earlier this year. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=3008 http://www.icepol.be/ Yves-Emmanuel Lambert and Christian Lefort have been joined by Stephan Lémeret. It seems that has brought new sponsorship. June 29, 2007 Practice for the 1,000 km of Nürburgring http://www.endurance-info.com/2007_LMS/03_Nurburgring/IMG_4022.jpg
If you're going to use the Gulf colors, don't do a half-ass job (literally). That's pitiful. It looks like a regular red Ferrari with some cheesy decals slapped on. Some yellow DHL areas and then powder blue and orange. Really clashes. (thumbsdown)
Gulf logo and colors belong ONLY on one car manufacturer that being Porsche. Ron's absolutely correct, at least the sponsors should be happy. Carol
The livery kind of reminds me of the one Benetton ran on Schumi's F1 car back in the day. It is a bit wild, but I kinda like it.
Didn't the GT40 have the Gulf livery? +1 on the bad execution. I would prefer the standard Gulf style I am used to.
Yes, the GT40 had a Gulf livery but not nearly as significant imo as the Porsche 917K. 1970 Le Mans - Steve McQueen, etc. I started a thread for the LMS Nurburgring race where this 430 is racing this weekend. Carol
Yes. I also think Audi ran an R8 in this livery some years ago and Zytek did this year at LeMans.

Penske Racing needs to switch from DHL to Gulf for the RS Spyder prototype Porsche. They probably wouldn't get as much sponsor money since Gulf isn't that big of a company anymore.
The Mclaren only had the Gulf logo not the full livery. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I took this photo at the LMS race in Monza in April - Barazi-Epsilon 07S-Zytek. Other two are from Le Mans this year. Carol Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
That's basically the full livery, but darker shades for the colors. What you're talking about could apply more to the longtail GTRs. Same Gulf colors and logo, but the sides had Davidoff sponsor logos. http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3748/28rewa2.jpg Image Unavailable, Please Login
Vintage Cars at Mid-Ohio. I have about 250 pics. Still sorting through them. May start a separate thread later. Talked to Lolaman for a while. He has a very nice set-up.
That Zytek 072/2 has been fast. http://***************.com/frame.php?file=search.php&keys=zytek&method=0 Another pic of the # 98 Ice Pol car. http://www.endurance-info.com/2007_LMS/03_Nurburgring/G0701_98_a242.jpg
Yves-Emmanuel Lambert, Christian Lefort, and Romain Iannetta finished 8th in GT2 and 22nd overall in the 1,000 km of Spa in 2006 with their # 73 Porsche (Ice Pol Racing Team). http://motorsport.com/photos/lmes/2006/spa/lmes-2006-spa-sg-0196.jpg
I really love the Gulf colors, they're the second best looking livery for a racing car beside Rosso Corsa, imho. That 430 would look amazing if it had a full Gulf paintjob on it, but that just looks... weird
