GULF FOSTER A CHILD CAR DRIVE
AN EVENT WITH A CAUSE
3^rd & 4^th FEBRUARY 2007

Gulf Oil Corporation Limited will be starting the motor-sporting activities for the year 2007 with the Gulf Foster A Child Car Drive, organized by Sportscraft, Mumbai under the aegis of The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India, the National Sports Federation recognized by the Government of India.

The much- looked forward event will be run on Sunday, February 4 ^th, 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 St Anthony's. 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.

There will be special prizes for all-ladies teams. In addition there will be prizes for the best dressed team and best decorated car..
