Technically, red is lowest (visible) colour on the electromagnetic spectrum :twisted:

When a car is moving away from you it will appear red - it's called the Doppler effect. So, if passed by another car it will appear to be red - ergo, Misano is the fastest colour!

no sign of black on the spectrum :shock:

Hehe. Black is far too cool for dull electromagnetic spectrums ;)

Interesting about the doppler effect. I thought Dave was having a laugh, but effectively the faster an object goes away from you, the redder it gets.

AFAIK the Doppler effect will be the same under water...

Or is that why the Beatles sang about a Yellow Sub???

Either way I have no intention of fitting a snorkel to my beast!!
