ok in the 100++ years of racing there has been a various set of systems set up to differentiate teams.
the longest lasting one is the color system now i shall only cover 2 specific color areas
A) National Colors
back in the good ole days when the FIA was actually run by ppl and not banks the idea was that each country would have a specific color.....this is not necessary today but it is still kept by most teams
1) Italy - Rosso Corsa
still used by Ferrai in both race cars and road cars
Germany - Silver Arrows or unpainted metal
still used by almost all german companies specifically by mercedes benz sometimes mentioned as nurburgring silver
Germany part 2 - Alpineweiss or white
not so common for race cars but quite common in sports cars
still used by bmw and porsche
until the next post.........brb
