I was waiting for Dr Frank, who was at Le Mans, to make the observation that the winning Ford GT was the designated "red" livery, confirming red is the fastest color. Red mirrors, windshield strip and windshield light. Definite proof that red was the fastest color last weekend.

I didn't do any internet ting while in France, and our flight from Paris was cancelled. Thank you Jack for bringing up this important point of interest.

Can't confirm that

Dr. Frank in a red car was clearly behind me (blue car) during the parade lap.

Later I heard he was blackflagged for not wearing his Ford ID ...
