I use driver number 72 on all my cars, for 1972, year of birth.
Is this what you do?
 
I vary between my house number and date of birth (Both date and year 6 & 87 - don't use the month). Sometimes I'll use a specific one for a certain car e.g. my 'Murica Viper was 76 (1776).
 
I use 72 as it's my lucky number
 
It varies

I use 69 a lot because I'm immature 👍
I use 88 a lot because its the year I was born
If I'm making a replica or inspired by livery its usually the number I saw during my research.
 
I always use 32 as it is my lucky number. Well it certainly has been on many a trip to the casino lol
 
I use 66 because it was Jim Hall's number on his famous/infamous Chaparrals.
 
It's also a little homage to Gilles Villeneuve, one of the best racers of all time. ;)
Yeah, that.
 
All my cars carry the number 37, the age at which my wife died in a road accident 7 years ago, also my user name Logicsays was the name of her online buisiness. So all in her memory.

That's a really nice reason to use it (although obviously what happened is not nice).

77. My favourite motorbike racer Chaz Davies uses the number 7, but with 7 being a generally common number people use, 77 is the one I use all the time now.
 
Use 11 as is my son's birth day.

I use 27 because I was born on the 27th of sept. It's also a little homage to Gilles Villeneuve, one of the best racers of all time. ;)
You know he actually wore the number 12 more times than the 27 in his career, right?
 
58, Kart number for my old team during my last season with them
 
Always 41 for me as it's part of my company name - in GT and for real... :cool:

Me too! Had my first go today. And it was awsome! Battle for 6th and lost out in the last lap.

Also carrying the "1.MSC" On wings or back of car.

I use 32 too, it's not lucky or anything for me or has any real significance, I just like it so use it all the time whenever I can. :cheers:
 
I usually go with multiples of 7, but never just 7. Most of the time 14(date of birth), but have used 21, and 77.
 
When I was younger I would use #20 as my favorite driver, Tony Stewart, used that number at the time. Lately, however, I've been using #9 as I believe it looks a lot cleaner on the car and it's the age I was when my mother passed so there's some significance there as well.

My favorite drivers are Jeff Gordon (NASCAR - 24) and Mitchell DeJong (Red Bull GRC - 24). But I don't really like the number.

I like to make team cars so I normally will use 7, 4, and 1. If I use a double digit number, I'd probably use 86. There's no special connection to any of the numbers, just like them and use them often
 
I picked "54" on my profile but I use various numbers on different cars. 54 for my number I wore when playing hockey and raced dirt bikes.

I use 27 because I was born on the 27th of sept. It's also a little homage to Gilles Villeneuve, one of the best racers of all time. ;)
Gilles and Nikki Lauda were my favorite back then to watch, along with Rene Arnoux, Nelson Piquet, Keke Rosberg and of course Ayrton Senna.
 
I use 19. It is a reference to something in my favorite series of books.
 
Lucky 13! Was my number when I had a dominant (as much as you can "dominate" at grade school/junior high age :rolleyes:) year on defense for my little league baseball team. Split time between first base and catching fastballs for the guy who went on to be a starter for our high school varsity baseball team as a sophomore. You can imagine the number of ice packs I went through on the weekends...

Plus I enjoy being the oddball/black sheep. :sly:
 
I initially went with my lucky number 8, but now I've switched to my birth number 86. I just think that it looks better and feels a bit more personal.
 
I use 35. It was my number in football (American).
 
I use 72, only reason it was the number i used when I use to race mini sticks in real life. My friend was 71, we both had 95 Saturn s-series so he made me 72 and we painted them the same color, some of the funniest times I had were racing that car, and just like GTS i was a mid pack guy. :)
 
I use 12 as my bithday is 12/12 :)
 
96 because I finished 96th over all in the first Senna Lotus Spa seasonal in GT6.

11 because I finished 11th fastest pad user at the same seasonal.

7 because of Kimi Raikkonen and the awesome reason he chose the number....
