I am very behind with my updates but I am pleased to announce that RCdW with plus4world got off to an amazing start seeing me take a solid 3rd place podium finish with the team making a very strong 3rd, 4th and 5th finish.
I will try and get some track action shots of the car later this evening.
If anyone would like to watch the race then it is streamed live and hosted on Youtube and Twitch.

The pink goes all the way back to Mastertronic, who used pink for the C16/Plus4 as part of their colour coding scheme, which was then copied by other companies.

@GeTe
Probably because the flamingo is pink.
In 1989, the Commodore World newspaper called the 264 series an ugly little duck. Later, it was corrected to a flamingo soaring in the clouds.

I know that The 8-Bit Guy used it for his badges on the PETSCII-Robots-boxes and it is the key colour for tape-based games at TFW8Bit bit, but can someone tell me when and why pink became iconic for the 264-line of computers?

Amazing how the humble Plus/4 (264 series) gains more and more popularity and friends.

Thanks for the fun feedback guys. I'm really excited to see your plus4 sticks Lavina and loving seeing the car on a actual plus4 fuzzweed  .
I once had a Skoda Octavia as well, when they said car of the year for all those years they weren't wrong.
The team is doing outstanding in free practice this week. I will be sure to get some race track action shots for you later this evening.
