    I liked the 2002 version the best: each team had 3 numbers resered for the cars nominated to score manufacturers points that made it very clear who the main crews were. That being said, numbers are less and less important, they are less prominent on the car, not sure how easy they are to see when the car flys past, if the drivers can build a brand with the fixed numbers fine by me.

    EDIT: to clarify in 2002 the numbers were 3 in sequence, unlike previous years, so Peugeot had 1-2-3, Ford had 4-5-6 and so on.

    atm: not that much with 69, ken block with 43. it will grow fast.
    main socials has already 1000+ contents each with #kr69, #tn11, #ee33 (even #gg44 has nearly 800)
    pr wise has more potential than changing every year or every race...

    That would suggest there's something wrong with the current hack where you can read Kalle Rovanpera's name next to the number on the side of the car and say; oh look honey, it's Kalle Rovanpera, no need to look it up.

    Sorry chaps, it's OK to feel nostalgic or whatever it is your going through but this argument is utter nonsense.

    Even without names and roof vent flags visible, you see a photo of #69 from the recent era you know it's Rovenpera. Who wants to have to be a detective to find out?

    It is nice when they try to follow the permanent numbers also out of WRC. If you look to entry list to Otepää Talveralli, biggest star on the first sight is Jourdan Serderidis with number 1
