Its off of the grand sport Corvettes. They really started with the le mans race cars....something to do with lap counting.

no not per laps. They did them for many reasons

"The FIA stripes covered the whole nose. The ones you mention are team stripes or rookie stripes. They were almost always on one side, the pit wall side, so that the pit crew could differentiate two team cars that were painted similar. Some were also used as Rookie stripes, to mark the newbies, but not as much. I love my stripes!!"
