I realize white is Germany's race colors (not silver like some believe) but the fact remains the same Guards Red is fastest.

It's been long since proven that the process of photon absorbtion by paint has a mild laminar flow disruption effect, like pebbles in a stream. This disruption of flow (somewhere in the vicintiy of 10-6 microns/cm2) can - on a sports car affect the Cd by as much as one tenth of a percent.

Zero absorbtion (white) generates minimal flow disruption and therefore is technically the fastest colour.

Wink I am sorry...BUT

Disruption in laminar flow is exactly why black cars are fastest.... why do they put dimples on golf *****.... why did they ban vinyl roofs in NASCAR..... because they disrupt laminar flow and reduce surface parasitic drag... c'mon... this is such a well known fact....

You are just wasting your time trying to even trump Guards Red, so just admit it's the fastest so we move on to some other useless discussion.

I love the golf ball dimple theory! If my photon absortion theory was anything more than a total fabrication - you'd be on to something! ; )

If the Germans race in white, you KNOW it's a scientific fact GP White is the fastest color.

Speed is more about the driver than the car and people who buy white are more intelligent, happier, and better drivers. ...................and humble. By the way any car that is pinkish in color and/or has the word "ruby" anywhere in it's description is not for me.
