Racing stripe

[1][2] The term "racing stripe" is also used to refer to diagonal lines painted on watercraft hulls, usually on vessels belonging to a country's coast guard.

Usually two parallel blue stripes running from front to rear in the centre of the white body, they helped spectators identify the cars during races.

[2][4] In 1964, the Shelby Daytona Coupe would use the converse blue with white stripes and would compete in the 1964 and 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Dodge's "Scat Pack" performance package for 1968-1971 muscle cars featured the bumblebee stripe as a signature.

[11] Many coast guard-type organizations have diagonally-slanted lines on their vessels' hulls, which are referred to as "racing stripes".
