An oil company that electric racing is going to sponsor, what is going on here?

The Formula E is secretly always a little forgotten, stands with me in any case, not so high on the interesselijst. Sin actually, because there are occasionally interesting developments are going on. So also this move of the oil company Gulf, which, of course, we all know from, for example, the delicious orange-and-blue LMP-1 cars and the famous carried the Ford GT40. More recently, they also had a contractje at Aston Martin’s walk, which is their Vantage GT3 Raceseries it uitrustte.

Golf makes its debut in the FIA Formula E at the Japanese racing team Aguri. This shows, among other things Salvador Duran know via twitter, which is in the new livery will go racing. Gulf-boss Frank Rutten let you know with this move ahead on other manufacturers. According to him, the focus changes within the racing world yet more and more towards hybrid/electric.

A not entirely illogical turn of Gulf, oil companies will, after all, something must come up to the fry to continue, before the last drop of black gold is pumped up. You may wonder whether it is a wanhoopspoging, but Gulf has in any case no blinders on, and is preparing through this way for bitter times.
