Renault Banana (officially the RS16) launch

"Bananas in pyjamas are coming down pit lane
Bananas in pyjamas are chasing raw lap time
Bananas in pyjamas are searching for more pace
Because in Sunday's race they'll try to catch them unawares."


(You'll only get it if you grew up in Australia in the 1990s.)
 
Pretty sure Bananas in Pyjamas were sadly a worldwide thing in the 1990s, my (much) younger brother used to love the show.

They (and the song) began on TV in the 60s (at least in the UK), as a small child I always found the theme slightly sinister :)

Looking back the Blytons were themselves a thoroughly odd bunch.

It's not a banana. It's simply a bad livery but I do appreciate that Renault are injecting some colour into our monochromatic grid.
