Andy's complaint is that the numbers aren't centered on the "door"? Honestly I wouldn't have even noticed if it wasn't pointed out.
Pro racer (and nice guy) Andy Lally makes a good point via Twitter: Are offset numbers too ugly and off-balanced?
I’m so torn on this. I want sponsors to get the most exposure possible, and this will help. But dang, it’s simply ugly and off balance. https://t.co/cq7ItSPds6

What’s your take when it comes to numbers on race cars: simply on the doors or tucked in somewhere else? Let us know in the comments below.

if i was jacking up the car by the number panel, i'd care about it being aligned with the car's CG. Otherwise, IDGAF.
I think it might look a little better with the number in front of "Sunnoco" rather than behind, but go ahead and put the number where it's readable and makes sense. I don't see a way to make that particular paint scheme really work with the number centered on where the door would be.
looks better than old school. I don't think the numbers even need to be that large. It's 2020, timing is not done by a bunch of people with stopwatches looking out of a building. Just look at famous Le Mans cars of the past, or F1.
Pro need sponsors to survive. I say let the sponsor's artists go crazy if they want.
'The horror, the horror.' How can humanity survive this? My people have sent a message of support to Mr. Lally's people. It also contained my offer to relieve him of the burdensome duty of racing a car with offset numbers.
