FIA Top Methanol Funny Car racer numbers by year

This page lists numbers, as far as they are known, for present and past racers. So if you have any old pictures and wonder 'who was that' you might be able to tell by the number on the car. If you know any numbers that are not mentioned here, please let me know and I will add them in.

Notes:
The Dragster and Funny Car classes raced against each other until 1997
In 1998 the classes were split into TMFC & TMD, which is why there are only complete 1-10s for each class from 1999 onwards
Remember that a drivers race number each year reflects the position they finished in the championship the previous year
