Eh???
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 :D

#5 is my own. But sometimes use #3 or #7 for Schumi :cheers:
 
85, year of birth for me. So nothing special.
 
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?
 
#9 it's the number that follows me everywhere
 
53, it was my number when I Autocrossed in the SCCA back in 2004.

 
36, after the Castrol TOM'S Supra. No real reason why, I just think it looks cool.
 
#28 there is no reason for it, i have always, if i could race with that number
 
12 for Senna's Lotus and 88 McLaren years.
 
#88 was my number in real life so it is in GT and any other sim where I have the option.
 
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.
 
#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
 
12, 17 and 89. If it were available, I would have 0, as that is my lucky racing number.
