Product Code: C3969
Product details:
Having returned to endurance racing at Le Mans 1994, Gulf Executive
Martin Allerton made the popular decision to take the blue and orange of Gulf Racing
into GT racing for the 1995 season. Until then, Gulf had been racing with the Kremer
Porsche, that is, until Allerton met with ‘gentleman driver’ Ray Bellm who had recently
persuaded McLaren to build a racing variant of the F1 Sports car. So impressed was
Allerton that he signed the deal even before McLaren designer Gordon Murray had
completed the designs for the new car. With fellow ‘gentleman driver’ Thomas Bscher
purchasing the first off the production line, Bellm snapped up the second and won the
BPR Global GT title with Gulf Racing in 1996. Seen here in a distinctive and collectible
Gulf Racing box. Number: 24, Race: Le Mans 24hr, Team: GTC Gulf Racing, Driver: Mark
Blundell, Ray Bellm, Maurizio Sandro Sala, Year: 1995.
