Can it really be 30 years ago this month that Polygon Marketing, working on behalf of Gulf Oil, was flat-out with its PR and Promotional preparation for the opening round of the BPR Global Endurance Series?

56 cars lined up on the starting grid at Le Castellet in early March where the Gulf McLaren F1 GTR of Ray Bellm and James Weaver won the race ahead of two Ferrari F40’s. It would be the first of 4 wins for the British sportscar racers that season. At the final race in Nogara, an emphatic  victory secured the world title, rounding off a memorable season both on and off the track.
