What is the traditional racing color of Ferrari?

The traditional racing color of Ferrari is Rosso Corsa, the Italian phrase for “racing red.” It was part of the international system of national racing colors used to identify cars by the country of the entrant. Italy was assigned red, while British cars were associated with British racing green, French cars with blue, and German cars with white or silver.

Ferrari's racing cars adopted this red tradition in the early decades of motorsport, and the color became one of the marque's most recognizable visual signatures. Even after sponsorship liveries and national-color rules became less important, Ferrari continued to race in red more consistently than most major teams.

Rosso Corsa is sometimes confused with “Rosso Ferrari,” which generally refers to Ferrari-specific shades of red rather than the historic Italian national racing color. Ferrari has occasionally raced in other colors: its cars appeared in white and blue at the final two Grands Prix of 1964 when they were entered by the American NART team.
