So, Aston Martin using their link to the Bond franchise and getting their car numbered "007" -- marketing genius.
But, man, I feel so sorry for all the programmers who used a numeric field for the car numbers and now had to convert everything to using strings now. And you can't even fix it by using some sneaky display rule because Toyota has the "7" car while Aston Martin has the "007".
I'm not a fan of the "double" number with 7 & 007 but I'm not a sponsor so my opinion doesn't matter lol.
Yeah, I wonder if they tried to get Toyota to give up the 7? It seems likely they tried, Toyota said no, and they just got permission to use 007 anyhow.
