deja Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 White stripe and red hash marks are paying tribute to the five original Grand Sport racing cars built in secret by Zora Arkus Duntov in 1963. So Maybe they wouldn't be appropriate on a Z, might look cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Maybe they wouldn't be appropriate on a Z, might look cool though. I don't know anything about that... They are called "rookie stripes". Here is my Scarab with them on. Drivers who are not known to the, organizers or who have limited experience, may be required to affix two "rookie" identification stripes to the rear of the car. This designation allows veteran competitors to exercise additional caution when racing/passing a rookie driver. I don’t know how often they are used now a days. The stripes on my car (and decals all removable vinyl BTW) came from the number kit I bought for my Cobra several years ago. Hope this helps.
