Gulf Oil Corporation Limited will be starting the motor-sporting activities for the year 2007 with the Gulf Foster A Child Car Drive, sponsored by Gulf Oil Corporation Ltd., and organized by Sportscraft, Mumbai. The much- looked forward event will be run on Sunday, February 4, 2007.

Like last year, it will start from Our Lady's Home, Parel, and finish at Duke's Retreat, Khandala.

Going by the response received last year, Sportscraft is expecting a flood of entries this time but will accept only 50 because of logistics.

The intricacies of the drive are simple: For starters, it is not about speed but proficiency in finding one's way by use of a tulip chart that will be provided at the start.

In each vehicle a family will drive with an orphaned, lesser-privileged child, from Our Lady's Home and Regina Pacis Convent. The team will have to decide on their navigator, who has to decipher the tulip rout chart that will be given to them at the start and adhere to the traffic laws and traffic speed limits. . Participants will be timed at the various controls along the route. More over there will be interesting questions, which the team will have to answer as they proceed.

Since past 5 years in its endeavor to promote motor sports in India the Lubricant Major - Gulf Oil Corporation Ltd. the second largest oil company in the private sector in the Indian Lubricants market had taken motor sporting to newer heights. The company offers all kinds of lubricants, greases, brake fluids, coolants and oil filters required by the Indian automobile market. In addition to the above, it also offers various kinds of specialty industrial lubricants.

There will be special prizes for all-ladies teams.

In addition there will be prizes for the best dressed team and best decorated car.

As always Gulf Oil will be making a handsome donation to the orphanage in kind. Besides, like last year, Sportscraft will donate the amount it receives by way of entry fees to the orphanage.


Some of the regulars at the drive have already shown interest in participating, but Sportscraft is hopeful of new participants willing to give their time and love for only a day to the underprivileged child.

The last date for entries is January 31, on first come-first-serve basis.
