My favorite for the numbers is Papyrus with a super thick outline.

I say start with some font that matches the style you're going for, them butcher the crap out of it (in a good way) until it's unique.

I just did one the other day. It is the first race car we have done in about 5 years.

We just don't do them very much anymore.

I like to use DNA's Race Car Chisel, or any font that looks cool or neat that I haven't seen to much used for motorsports. I also like to make my own. Since I was taught by a friend who use to hand paint race cars for years. He taught me alot about colors , outlines and thin and thickness when designing anything.
