For the Nth time, I got a question, Can I be called a car guy even if. I don't build my car, I bought it brand new, It's still stock yet fine by me, I'm contented with around 150hp and 190Nm of torque, I still doesn't have plans of making her horse power higher, She is automatic, I only change tires if me and my car need to, I love sports cars and super cars but I am not dreaming of owning some, Though, I appreciate the beauty of cars history, I love the engineering, I take care of my car, I maintain her well, always checking her tires, wheels, engine, oils, coolant, baterry, steering, brakes, belts, lights, leaks (if there's any, washer, wipers, tools, accessories, gas, cleanliness, hoses, horn, safety, and everything in between, I love my car, and the best feeling is when I drive her. So, can I still be called a car guy?

This is interesting, but you didn't answer another question you raised: How did stripes become associated with speed? I bet, if you check, it came when industrial designers like Raymond Lowey and Otto Kuhlman designed streamlined trains in the 1930s. Stripes were on fast new trains and locomotives (diesel, electric and even steam) in U. S, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and maybe Belgium. Often the stripe started at the locomotive and went all the way down the train. Lowey designed the 100 mph GG-1 electric locomotive with a streamlined welded body decorated with five gold pinstripes that curved gracefully down at both ends.

Great Video, I always enjoy your content. You missed a point about the function of Racing stripes. Engineers used them on racecars to gauge the slip-angle their drivers were carrying through turns. With the bias-ply tires in the days of yore, slip angle was quite dramatic. Very different then today's slot-car-esque handling, on modern radials with nearly zero visible slip-angle.

I am pretty uneducated in racing history, but this Pete Brock dude is a different bloke from Peter Brock, the Aussie racing legend, right? Because I've never heard of him having anything to do with ford, with the notable exception of dying in a Daytona in the targa rally. Is it a coincidence or am I dumb?

Mr, Ineverheardof Why don't you do a video of Dan Gurney. He was an amazing driver in every class he raced in. I am not alone in thinking this. He is the first driver in LeMans to spray champagne all over everyone and every thing.

Stripes came from racing in the 50s the Cunningham team put them on there car so they could spot it among the other cars then Shelby adapted it for his street cars in the 60s. Whoops didnt watch it all before I typed that. My bad.

Saw Briggs Cunningham race the 1965 Sebring in a Porsche 904. During the great afternoon flood the two liter 904s had faster acceleration than the Cobra Daytonas which were aquaplaning due to their wide tires.

Stripes were also present on many Allied aircraft during WW2, Aircraft like the P-51 MUSTANG, I always thought racing stripes were inspired by that and the P-51 in particular.
