IRELAND - Gulf's WRC Success

WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP SUCCESS FOR GULF IN IRELAND  

Gulf's sponsorship of rising rally star (Shaun Gallagher), by National Oil Brands Ltd (Gulf's official distributors for fuel and lubricants), has proved a success at the first time of asking.

The Gulf World Rally Team Ireland's Mitsubishi EVO IX swept to victory in Group N of Rally Ireland, the country's round of the World Rally Championship. At the same time, Shaun, together with co-driver Paul Kiely, secured a superb top 15 finish, coming home 13^th overall.

Dermot Fallon, Managing Director, National Oil Brands Ltd said; "We are delighted as title sponsors to get off to such a great start with Shaun and the whole Gulf Oil team. Our three year agreement will see us building on today's success and giving the Gulf brand a very strong presence in both, Irish motorsport and the Irish marketplace."
