Vehicles
In motorsport, competition numbers are attached to the vehicles taking part, also for identification. In some types of motorsport such as rallies, the competition number works in conjunction with special kinds of timing system (for example targa timing) and as a result numbers also usually relate to the competitors' due time and thus may exhibit gaps such as skipping from number 59 to number 100 (59 minutes to 1 hour due time).

Famous quotes containing the word vehicles:
“Only by the supernatural is a man strong; nothing is so weak as an egotist. Nothing is mightier than we, when we are vehicles of a truth before which the state and the individual are alike ephemeral.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
