Rosso Corsa?
Red is Italy's official racing color.
England's is British Racing Green.
Germany's is Silver.
The U.S. is Blue and White. For a very brief period the Ferrari F1 cars were in this color scheme rather than red. Trivia question then, what year and for how long this was and why? :wink:

Wow, that was a lot faster than I thought. I'll have to look it up again...
But, I do believe you're correct 1964. But, (and this is why I have to look it up again) I think they were painted in the American colors for the full North American swing. That would have included Watkins Glen.
As I said I'll have to look it up.

The British media coined that because of obvious jealousy. Marlboro ditched McLaren for Ferrari and they are the biggest sponsor in F1. The truth is the red shade was changed to look brighter and closer to Ferrari's colour on TV. Rosso Corsa becomes too dark on TV. Jordan and Jaguar changed their colour tint as well for the same reason.Dj Dirk said:
Are you basing that statement on the "Silberpfeilen" (Silver Arrows)? Because that would make it nonsense. The only reason german cars were eventually painted silver was because at some grand prix, the Mercedes was too heavy so they worked all night to sand the car down to the aluminium body to keep weight down. Only after that event, the Mercs were painted silversenna21 said:
