Race numbers on road car
Discussion
Take them off - it may be technically ok but why would you want to risk damaging the club that has organised the event. Events and clubs are finding it hard enough without any bad publicity. ( not to say that you would do anything bad with numbers on but there is always a busybody out there looking for any reason)

If you want to have numbers on your car it is absolutely fine - it is no different to any other livery. This can extend to numbers with historical connections.
If you are competing in an MSA event (which is not road based) then the numbers you use at the circuit/hillclimb/sprint should not be visible if on the road.
If they become visible a day or week later after the event I imagine does not matter

Tape it over, don't tape it over. No law rules it out as said but you might get a disapproving chat from a Scutineer, you might not.
You probably will, however, get some unwanted attention from the Fuzz. I did and it was tiresome. Cars pulling in to wait as you drove by, see if you were misbehaving.
Think I was mentioned in the morning brief and became the target of choice for a while, the amount of attention I got.
Took them off and it all went quiet...

rules outside UK:
if the race-number looks like a real race number (not the 53 vw beelte "i want to look like a race number" thing) it needs to be covered (at least ruled-out by a piece of black tape) when the car is used on public roads.
this has nothing to do with MSA or FIA regulations...its a request from the road trafic act.

What road traffic act though? There is no road traffic act that i am aware of that says this is the case.if the race-number looks like a real race number (not the 53 vw beelte "i want to look like a race number" thing) it needs to be covered (at least ruled-out by a piece of black tape) when the car is used on public roads.
