Fastest Colour

[JAF 182]

The gold in the black gold is Titanium Nitride - which must be lighter than just about anything else that goes in paint and hence create a performance advantage. Normal metallics have to make do with aluminium - heavy!!!

 

[cliosportcraig]

So its comfirmed, Black IS fastest

 

[_Tom]

Yep tis true!

 

[Big Iain]

Ask Jilly lol

 

[Dodson]

BLACK IS FASTEST LIKE

 

[Rich_16v]

British racing black - its the future

 

[Evy.]

Isnt there actually a technical term for which colour is the fastest.

I read it in a thread about a week ago. Tom knows about a think.

Somthing to do with Atoms passing through...blah, blah, blah

 

[telford_mike]

So the more stone-chips I get, the faster I go eh? Woohoo!

Why? Her car is grey!

On the subject of stone chips Mike, Arctic blue chips a lot easier than Monaco blue did.

 

[LEECE]

thought it would of been Racing blue with the RACING BLUE FASTER STRIPES lol

 

[Evy.]

What about the Cup Blue?

I always thought they used ultra lightweight paint

 

[DeanRSi]

youre all very much mistaken. its quite obvious the fastest colour is white.

 

[LEECE]

but white attracts the dirt therefore making it heavier *leece laughs*

 

[Enid]

Obciously the fastest colour is 449 sports blue, silly

(I cant even take the piss out of you for having a Navy Blue car any more )

well i think that black, any kind of black is the fasted colour, preferably matt black but that doesnt exist for clios. The reason for this is that black disipates heat much faster than other colours. The worst for this would be metallic silver. This probably doesnt make a big difference in reality but if you were getting your 182 to the theoretical maximum efficiency which by the way is impossible due to too many variables. Then the paintwork would play a part in the dissipation of the extreme heat produced. So in a light speed contest. The black cars would hold out longest and the silver cars would have been atomised long before.
