That's pretty funny; is the car supposed to be brown, or was it originally white ? (I can't imagine painting a white car brown, but  ...) Reminds me of the old racer trick painting the insides and/or floor pan white for better visibility in dim light conditions.

Reminds me of the old racer trick painting the insides and/or floor pan white for better visibility in dim light conditions. Its also easier to see a cracked roll cage joint when its painted white. Used to use white or grey wherever possible in my oval track days. As many hits as they were taking, cage inspection was a weekly task and being able to easily see damage was a benefit of lighter colors.
