With Renault planning to revert to their traditional Yellow and Black colours in Brazil I thought it worth posting a thread on National Racing Colours. Below is a link to the wiki page which gives a full listing of the national colours each country used to have to prepare their cars in, hence British Racing Green.

It's a shame these colours have fallen out of use, although Honda did produced a mainly white machine before the awful "earth car" was inflicted on us, the Mild Seven Renault did at least have hint of Blue and Williams cars of years past used to have some green on them (I won't mention Ferrari as the colour they race in today is so far removed from Italian racing red it's ridiculous). I suppose you could argue McLaren are in German Silver bit it is still a British racing team and so maybe there should be some Green or, taken to It's ultimate extreme, Green and Silver for New Zealand.
My apologies if I'm being a bit "Victor Meldrew"
