Anyon know why the Vettes have gone back to yellow. I thought the racing colours last year were really smart. No offence Richard

The racing colours last year were blue, right? I prefered those too... But then I don't like the colour yellow in general (no offence to any yellow vettes on here, personal prefences and all that ).

I could be wrong here so I hope nobody goes getting all excited or insulted, just trying to offer a possible answer.
I believe that last year's colour change was simply to commemorate the 50th anniversary and was never intended to be permanent.
I have to agree though, last year's colour was good, then again I do like the yellow too (Damn, I hope VHR doesn't read this post!).

Ha! Caught you JT!

Last years Le Mans colours was just for the 50th anniversary and also having got blatted by the Ferraris I think the colour scheme was considered "bad luck" hence the return to yellow.

6th place overall and 1st and 2nd in class says yellow IS best!

Damn... knew it!!!

'Nuff said then on the colour change.
I also had the suspicion there was a bad mojo link to the blue.
