How did you decide your racing number?

Post by resir014 »

Some competitions allow us to use racing numbers. I'd like to ask you guys, how did you create your racing number?

My racing number is 73 (before this I usually use 14). It is taken from the last 2 digits of my junior highschool's national exams identification number, which is 04-314-073. :D

Most commonly I use #76, reference to video game company Namco (whose "image number" is 765).

#27 'Cause I had that number on my jersey when I played hockey. :) And it's also Gilles Villeneuve's legendary number. :)

#64, because it is a nice round number. It is the square number of 8, a number of bits a console can have and i just plain like the number for some reason.
Look to the left ----------------> that's to the right, mate :(

Yeah. But that's not related to my number. Just the starting number of the F1 car at PGR in 2010 season.
Next year (actually this year :D ), it might be a totally different number, you know.

Hey, I used that number too! Though if I didn't miss all the tournaments (I don't have time for comps because of my uber-lot activities), I'd like to use #76. It's actually the lucky number of N.... , and used by P.. R..... C... . Guess what those are... :)
Y'all, I just woke up... what did I miss?

It actually has to do with my birthday, I was born on a Friday the 13th, had the umbilical cord four times round my neck and was taken via a cesarian cut right in time to not suffer from any lack of oxygen. Was critical, but all went well on a Friday the 13th - therefore 13 is my personal lucky number, it just has to be... :D

Villeneuve used #12 more than #27

Mine is 95, Randomly chose it for my first karting season and it has stuck ever since

5 has been my "lucky number" for a long time, so although I don't use one specific number, it's usually variations of that... 05, 55, 50...
I like short, simple signatures!

Yes but Villeneuve made #27 famous and Villeneuve is better known from that number. ;)

Either #22 or #9 (Born on 22/9/96, and 9 is my lucky number), or in 3 digit cases #229. Although I would not mind #1.
