McLaren to run one-off Gulf livery at Monaco Grand Prix

McLaren will race with a one-off livery in the colours of the Gulf Oil company at next weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.

Gulf's iconic blue and orange colour scheme has featured on a number of racing cars in the past -- including the McLaren F1 GTR that finished second at the 1997 Le Mans 24 Hours -- but has never before raced in Formula One.

McLaren was motivated to push ahead with the one-off colour scheme after a number of fans sent mock-up designs to the team following the announcement of Gulf's partnership deal last year.
