Not too old, though. I, too, am a fan of the movie "Le Mans" and Steve McQueen's LeMans Gulf Porsche 917. Gotta love it.

But Ford is certainly allowed blue and orange Gulf livery for their race car. Remember the famous Gulf Ford GT-40s, and in particular the GT P/1075 which was one of the few cars to win Le Mans twice (both under John Wyer Automotive Engineering): in 1968 with drivers Pedro Rodriguez, Lucien Bianchi; and in
1969 with drivers Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver .

:race: It also won the 1968 SPa-Franchorchamps race with Jacky Ickx piloting.
