You know the go-faster stripes? I was wondering where and when they originated. By all accounts, they're the same as horse racing colours and different stripes identified different cars on a racing circuit.
They started being used in the 50s, with the first car to use them being those belonging to the Cunningham racing team. The first road car to use them as go-faster stripes was the Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 in 1965.
An iconic car.
The racing stripe, however, must not be confused with racing tripe, which is a sport peculiar to northern counties...
