What's Your Racing Number?

[ECGadget]

I haven't seen a thread around like this, and I am pretty interested in hearing peoples stories about racing numbers, so here is the question:

What is your racing number/numbers, and why have you chosen them?


I generally have three numbers that I have used in racing: 10, 7 and 1.

#1, as you can imagine is the number I use on the cars once I feel it's worthy of winning every single race everywhere and it has done so. In GT5 that number was reserved for my McLaren F1 Stealth.

#7 is the number I am currently using in GT6 as a homage to Michael Schumacher. I do not often use odd numbers for anything (expect 1) but for this I am quite liking the number 7.
Number 7 is also how old I was when I first got Gran Turismo

 

[F20C]

#5 is my own. But sometimes use #3 or #7 for Schumi

 

[Gerarghini]

I use the #6 in tribute to Mark Martin.

 

[MasterFocus]

#80 my year of birth

 

[ShortAznGuy]

Lucky number 7

 

[iainoflo85]

85, year of birth for me. So nothing special.

 

[SidsCycleShop]

42. It's a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

 

[GregOr1971]

#71

 

[Ninners]

#4 or #7 or #47

 

[mattyr6]

My numbers are #3 #7 #6 and #27.

OT: where I can change my number? I found it in GT5, but in GT6 I didn't find it... I am missing something?

 

[NeuroticVows]

#9 it's the number that follows me everywhere

 

[TRB02]

#99 for me

 

[WJHMH]

53, it was my number when I Autocrossed in the SCCA back in 2004.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

36, after the Castrol TOM'S Supra. No real reason why, I just think it looks cool.

 

[Foxiol]

#77, I like the 7...so I put two in it.

 

[Tonystew42]

I'm obligated to use 42.

[Pluxtheduck]

Team Motion Blur: No.36

 

[danish GT freak]

#28 there is no reason for it, i have always, if i could race with that number

 

[GT5Power]

#8 and #88.

 

[RockerBR]

12 for Senna's Lotus and 88 McLaren years.

 

[pyrates]

I always use 11 on all cars.

 

[MustangManiac]

#88 was my number in real life so it is in GT and any other sim where I have the option.

 

[Amac500]

I change it based on the ride if I'm trying to replicate a car, like how my BMW is #55 like a Rahal Letterman BMW, and my Autobac GT300 car is blue and #90 like the Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP. When I'm nit replicating a ride I most often do #98 for the history of that number at Indianapolis, but I also like #21 and a couple others.

 

[thunderjolt]

I only ever use #21

 

[NIGHT MICHAEL]

26 is my lucky number.

 

[rallymorten]

#95 for four major reasons:

1: Year of birth
2: Lightning McQueen (yes, that Lightning McQueen)
3: The year Colin McRae won the WRC drivers championship
4: Le Mans '13, nuff said

 

[DBM]

#40 <---- as its a 4.0

 

[Bo]

12, 17 and 89. If it were available, I would have 0, as that is my lucky racing number.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Always number 24.
