About Rosso Corsa
Rosso Corsa — Italian for “racing red” — is the solid red most people picture when they think of a Ferrari. It began as Italy's national racing color and has been worn by Ferrari's Formula 1 cars since the 125 F1. On road cars it remains the reference red that Ferrari's other reds are measured against.
- •Rosso corsa was the color assigned to Italian cars in international competition in the 1920s[2]
- •Ferrari's own magazine reports that around 85% of Ferraris were painted red at the early-1990s peak[3]
- •In 1964 Ferrari's works cars briefly raced in the blue and white of the North American Racing Team instead of red, after a dispute over the 250 LM's homologation[4]
