U.S and Canadian competitions: Numbers are automatically assigned as part of the online registration. Assigned
numbers may be found on the Baja SAE website in the “registered team list” for each competition.
B5.1.1 Other competitions: Vehicle numbers at other competitions will be assigned by the respective organizers.
B5.1.2 It is each team’s responsibility to provide its vehicle number markings. These markings include primary cutout numbers
(side) and body numbers (front/rear). The numbers must be clearly visible from all sides, front, and rear of the vehicle.
The numbers must remain readable throughout the competition.
Numbers that are not easily read might not be scored during the endurance event.
COMMENT: Schools which are entering more than one vehicle should consider painting them in individually
distinctive colors to facilitate in lap counting.
B5.2 Vehicle Number – Primary Cutout
B5.2.1 Each vehicle must display its number as either a stamp or a blank (positive or negative cutout), so that the shape may be
read when the number is covered with mud. The stamp or blank mounting must allow mud to shed. The number must be
a block style numeral that is clear and easy to read. Vehicles with numbers that are hard to read, missing, damaged or
obscured may not be scored and may be black flagged.
