Race number sizes

Hello

Just a quicky. I'm stuck at work, with no access to the bue book, and wondered if anyone could tell the minimum size of race numbers? And if there is a recommended font.

Thanks

Cap'n Bluebook to the rescue!

Oh wait, he's gone now, so I guess I'll have to help instead..

Quote:
Minimum size of 23cm high, with a stroke width of a minimum of 3.8cm on a white oblong background measuring not less than 48cm x 33cm which must extend at least 5cm beyond the outline of the numbers. If on a white vehicle, the background must be delineated at 48cm x 33cm by a continuous black line... Numbers must be displayed on both sides of the vehicle (front doors, along side the cockpit) and on the foremost part of the nose...

May be too late, but:

Min size 23cm high, with a stroke width of a minimum of 3.8cm. No mention of font, just that the numbers must be of the
'classic' type: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0, which I assume menas no French-style 7's, etc.

(reg E11.3.11)

Blimey, same time and everything..

Yeah, no mention of the font, so as long as you can identify the numbers, I don't suppose it matters.

Both Demon Tweeks and Grand Prix racewear sell number packs for around £12-£22.

They also sell individual numbers and white backgrounds, which is what I bought. I think that 4 x 68 and 2 x White Backgrounds cost me under a fiver when I turned up at the Silverstone shop.

PDL That's good value for money.

We have someone make them up for us and I needed to tell him the size, but didn't have the blue book to hand. It's the first race on Saturday and after a respray the car has no decals on it at all at the moment.

If you leave it late the organising club normally have some available at the race meeting. However we wanted a bit of time to put them on properly and not do the rush job like last year!

Thanks again.

Glad I'm not the only one doing last minute preparations. My car currently looks like a red/yellow shed

I would have applied the number backgrounds earlier, but a new batch of them has only just been made - the old ones kept falling off!

When are you racing the Maestro or have you changed the Mini's colour scheme? :confused: :confused:

Saw one of your fellow racers towing his MG Maestro down the A34 on Saturday night. P? Roberts was the name on the side.

No flying this time, but a whole lot of trouble from an MST transponder.. I'll post a thread about that somewhere else I reckon. Anyway, I finished the race this time (1st finish since SUNBAC last year ) and finished 16th after starting 20th.

PDL, that was Paul Roberts - yellow(ish!) car. Don't know him that well, but I nearly bought one of his cars when I was first getting into the Maestro racing thing.

Is it the AMB 260?

Direct powered? Post the thread here. I've yet to use mine in competition.
