The Gulf Oil Dragracing team were once again honoured to be invited by the Earl of March and Kinrara to appear at the world’s biggest and most diverse motorsport event – the Goodwood Festival of Speed within the grounds of his ancestral home alongside the great and the good from all aspects of motorsport.
Despite the inclement weather over the weekend the team did not disappoint the sold out crowd of over 100,000 people with the unique sounds and smells of a 1500 horsepower dragbike.
