As a by the way, Germany's color is NOT silver, it is white. They paint the
cars silver but they are really violating the rules. there was a somewhat
homurous article in Brit Car magazine some months ago where the LeMans
inspectors were balking at a British car that was painted light green, until
the driver remarked that it was the same as the Germans painting their cars
silver when the national color was white. End of debate, the inspectors
suddenly decided that light green was OK.

All nationalities had their own racing color. Back in the glory days, Britain
had green, Germany had silver and Italy had red, etc... That was before
corporate sponsorship took over. Now they drive under the colors of the
company that pays the most money.
