Historic numbers game

Touring car hero (down here in the low lands at least) Toine Hezemans in a 2000 GTAM

Kálmán Von Csazy's Ferrari 250 GTO at the 1963 Targa Florio

One the many American specials from the late 1950s/early 1960s, the Buick-engined Devin :

Hezemans is very well rated worldwide I think, easily one of the greatest touring car drivers ever ! Pretty damn good in sportscars too !

Triple European Touring Car Champion and winner of 24h of Francorchamps is indeed a more than respectable CV

No, not a motor boat but a 2-litre Shrike P15 from the BRSCC Thundersports series of the 1980s :

Not to mention the 1971 Targa Florio and he was brilliant in 2-litre sportscar racing !

Le Mans, Targa Florio, Mille Miglia, IMSA, ... Look and you will find.

Exactly Even in the World Championship you'll find +100 numbers sometimes. And it's also the opportunity to discover lesser known races and cars.

Also the goal of the game is to reach the highest number possible, with #194 our score to beat. But I've seen this game go way past that figure on other forums.

TF numbers go well into the 200s, even numbers only, though...

Uneven numbers were used in the latter years . Mille Miglia numbers went into the 700s, maybe even 800s, as usually those numbers were in fact the time of departure of each contestant and were staggered from the first minute after midnight to the early morning hours. But then not the easiest pics to find I guess !

Buick Century at the 1954 Carrera Panamericana Mexico :

A nice Cougar 

Slightly less exotic.

Dick Rathmann's Hudson Hornet at Daytona in 1953.

Another one from the 1963 Targa Florio

One of my favourite makes, the OSCA concern of the Maserati brothers and their trademark MT4 model (here in 1,300cc guise) :
