It can be hard to comprehend really huge numbers. Take Irv Gordon’s record-breaking Volvo P1800S for example. 3.2 million miles certainly sounds like a phenomenal distance for one car to travel. But research shows the human brain can struggle to interpret what such large figures mean. It’s only when you start putting it into context that the scale of Irv’s achievement becomes clear. To match the Volvo’s mileage you would have to lap Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit 975,312 times!
What was his secret? Well, Irv was a firm believer in taking the best possible care of his car, and for him that meant only ever using Castrol engine oil. From the moment Castrol GTX was launched in 1968 he refused to use anything else. So, when we say Castrol GTX extends engine life, nobody embodies that more than one incredible car and its truly remarkable journey.
ONE CAR. ONE OIL. 3.2 MILLION MILES.
