Racing Stripe - From Cunningham To Viper

From Cunningham To Viper

Racing stripes were applied to the Cunningham team's racecars beginning in 1951. Usually two parallel blue stripes running from front to rear in the centre of the white body, they helped spectators identify the cars during races.

In 1996 a pair of 8-inch wide stripes was used on the Dodge Viper GTS, starting a revival in Europe. They are sometimes referred to as "Viper Stripes".
