Any takers? 10:00 AM - 9 Mar 2016 ] We love the Gulf livery as much as anyone, but this puzzles us. The Gulf livery is legendary in motorsports. Three of the four Ford GT40s that won Le Mans from 1966 to 1969 wore the orange and blue colors; Steve McQueen's Porsche from the 1971 movie Le Mans is a Gulf special. The colors are inextricably woven into the history of racing. But there's something perplexing about seeing it on an all-electric Formula E racer. Yes, Team Aguri has just announced Gulf as its title sponsor for the rest of the 2016 season. The livery seen here will first appear on the grid at this weekend's race in Mexico City.
