May Trivia Question
What do the following Corvette colors have in common? Mosport Green, Goodwood Green, Silverstone Silver and Bridgehampton Blue.
We have two WINNERS!
Dennis Grant and Russ Erikson got it correct. We could have also added Sebring Silver, Daytona Blue, Riverside Red, Laguna Gray, Glen Green, Mille Miglia Red, Elkhart Green, Brands Hatch Green, Monza Red, Daytona Yellow, Mulsanne Blue (this one's a stretch, oops! bad pun), Monaco Orange, LeMans Blue, Elkhart Blue, Nassau Blue, Laguna Blue, Goodwood Yellow, and Daytona Sunset Orange.
The colors were named after race tracks. Mosport is in Canada. You can learn about it here. Goodwood is a racetrack about 60 miles from London. Info about is can be found here. Another British race track is Silverstone. It is still an active track hosting a Formula 1 race each year. More info here. Last but not least is Bridgehampton. Unfortunately, this great track has been converted to a golf course. It is located on Long Island near Sag Harbor. You can read about its history here.
As you can see, Corvette has long been associated with racing and the designers and engineers have on many occasions paid homage to the great race tracks of the world.
