"Happy U.S. Grand Prix Day from #DavesCarIDService Every year 150000 or so people from around the world converge here in Austin to enjoy BBQ music and fancypants car racing. So today's topic is: know your international racing colors For us Americans those would be "Cunningham Stripes": white with double blue lengthwise stripes or alternately blue with lengthwise white stripes. Mister stand and salute because those are the automotive equivalent of Old Glory. Or were before racing liveries became mostly decided by sponsor logos. The "Cunningham" comes from Briggs Cunningham a Florida businessman"
