SILVER ARROW

In 1934, the international motor sport governing body specified a maximum weight for Grand Prix racing cars of 750 kg, excluding tires and fuel. The Germans decided to reduce weight by removing the lead-based white livery paint, exposing shining aluminium. 

the victory of one of those shiny car earned the nickname Silver Arrow. Their successors, which were built on the same chassis, continued to race successfully at the Indy 500 after the war.
