Why do you call them FIA Stripes.
I have always called them “Pit Stripes” because of an Article I read many (many) Years ago where back in 1965, There were so many White with Blue Lemans Stripes Shelby’s on the Race Track that the Pit Crews were tired of going over the wall every time one came into the Pits only to find out it was not their Shelby so someone painted two Stripes on the Front Fender of their Shelby using a Bright Red Paint so their Pit Crew knew when it was their Shelby coming in to Pit.
