I know I read somewhere there was a reason why they had to have the "hash marks"on the 60s' grand sports for Le Mans for some reason. Can someone find a source or tell me why they had them?
thanks |

This article mentions the hash marks; refers to them as being used to help identify the original GS cars on track. However, nothing is said about differentiating the cars as factory from the privateer entries. I imagine that the marks helped separate the 'Vettes from perhaps the Cobras of similar color when viewing the cars from a distance on track. Here's another link: http://www.grandsportregistry.com/63_history.htm It doesn't explain the marks either (probably have to buy the book). |
