Back in the 90's w/ CART, duplicate sponsor/car colors were very common w/ Target, Marlboro, Kool and others sponsoring 2 cars in the same race with identical livery. The only difference was the drivers helmet and the color of the nose or roll hoop. It made it a btch to blue flag them because it seemed that one was slower than the other and my eye sight isn't good enough to pick up the leader when coming out of the shadows or at 200 mph. We were given pictures of each car and the drivers helmet to help id each car. Most of the time, I let everyone else flag because I got named as the designated communicator for the corner, which means you end up with a set of headsets on for the whole weekend even during the support races. Wife & I got asked to come to Indy for F1, but by then, I didn't like the series because of the identical liveries and small numbers.
