Question, internet. What’s the easiest way to enhance any car’s performance? Add go-faster stripes, obviously – just ask BMW M. There’s more to the tricolour M logo than just speed, and one that involves delving into the history books. Founded in 1972, BMW’s sports division was meant to combine the company's racing activities under a single identify, with the unifying element a crisp colour scheme. When the Bugatti brand was reinvented with the Veyron in the early 2000s, the design team began their search for a shade of “French Racing Blue” for the very latest era of Bugatti. In 2007, having painstakingly analyzed the many shades of blue used since the company was founded in 1909, Bugatti released its modern interpretations of the color for the reinvention of the brand under Volkswagen Group ownership. A warmer and a colder blue was defined, a neutral blue and – important for the new carbon fiber era of Bugatti – a blue-tinted carbon. In the modern range of Bugatti vehicles, the application of ‘French Racing Blue’ goes further than just the exterior of the cars, with intricate contrast stitching against the leather interiors and a particularly difficult aluminum anodization process. Creating blue anodized aluminum for example is extremely complex, especially when you require the same shade consistently across many different components of the car. Each piece of aluminum, even if it appears identical will react differently during the process, even when all other conditions remain the same.

In the 1930s the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union teams did not apply the traditional German white paint, and their bare sheets of metal gave rise to the term Silver Arrows. A myth developed in the 1930s that the German teams did not apply white paint owing to the need to be under the 750kg maximum weight limit; however the first "Silver Arrows" raced in 1932, before the weight limit was imposed in 1934. Modern monocoque aircraft fuselage construction was already using polished and unpainted aluminium panels at this period, and the wealthy motor-racing fraternity would also have been aware that in Heraldry, White and Silver are the same colour or ' tincture', described as ' Argent'; (similarly Yellow and Gold are both called ' Or').

The duo-tone application became very popular on Touring and racecars, where the vibrant blue paired with a light turquoise blue became the identifying trademark of the Le Mans-winning Type 57 Tanks - a predecessor of the Duotone identity that is still part of Bugatti's Design DNA," says Anscheidt. "So tightly connected were the Bugattis and the shades of blue that over time, 'French Racing Blue' would informally become known as 'Bugatti Blue'". The Nations Cup". fastlinesinternational.com. Archived from the original on 12 August 2007. Fastlines International We’re going to end with a properly modern take on the livery icon. Falken tyres isn’t a storied brand of automotive history, in fact it was founded in 1983 and didn’t arrive in Europe until 1988. But through a vivid colourscheme and clever sponsorship of motorsport, its worldwide cache has grown. There are binoculars even though in Pretend Time, Steve pretended to be a jungle explorer and used binoculars and a pair of binoculars by long and short things in A Brand New Game when Joe, Blue and Franny mooed like cows, hopped like basketballs and looked through telescopes.

Whether that’s true or not, we’ll never know. But instead Porsche popped a vivid pink outfit on the 917, covered in the different cuts of meat you found on a pig – a reference probably to how ugly the car underneath was – and an icon was born. Sure the 917/20 was a bit rubbish as well as ugly, but it looked ridiculously cool. From the early motorsport successes of the Bugatti Type 35 to the reveal of the era-defining Chiron, “French Racing Blue” has been a core part of the Bugatti identity and a way of life: “La Vie en Bleu”. It became a symbol of the dominant Bugatti performances at motorsport events all over the world and has since come to represent the very best of French engineering, innovation, and design, as Bugatti enters an all-new era, “French Racing Blue” will once again be reimagined.
