Rally cars carrying number 13

[Mihai]

I'm looking for data and photos featuring unusual racing numbers, such as #13 cars in the WRC but also in national/regional championships.

Any data or photo (preferably your own) would be very welcomed. :up:

Number 13? Not in Poland for sure.

In 2007, another driver had no.13 on his Clio S1600 until he suffered a major crash that almost killed him. He eventually returned to rallying, but he chose another number for his car.

Usually here in the UK number 13 would only be used for a late entry, although they usually tend to be given the first available number and then seeded further up the field.

Thanks a lot for the tip. I did some digging on the Ford media website and I found one picture of the 1973 RAC-rally winning car :

Haha, Diggins in typical Scottish Rally conditions there! :D

Malcolm Wilson carrying #13 at the RAC 1985. Don't think it happened much more in WRC events afterwards.
