01
Physical identity
One registry record represents one physical car, even when its interpretation changes later.
Independent race car provenance registry
Identify the car.
Document the evidence.
Preserve the provenance.
A structured registry of individual racing cars, their components, identity claims, evidence, history and sightings.
Public search and registry records are available without registration.
What exactly is this car — and how do we know?
Built around evidence
One physical car. Multiple claims. A transparent record.
Race Car Registry does not treat every identification as an unquestionable fact. Each physical car has its own record, while identity, history, configuration and component attribution can be documented with sources, evidence and confidence.
02
Claims & evidence
Owner claims, research, manufacturer information, documents and photographs stay attributed.
03
Components
Engines, gearboxes, suspension, bodywork and other parts can be documented individually.
04
Revision history
New evidence can change the current interpretation without erasing the research that came before it.
Registry scope
Formula One first.
The initial registry focuses on Formula One cars, while the database structure is ready for IndyCar/CART, Group C, sports prototypes, rally and touring cars later.
Registry-assigned individual identifier
EJ12-S03
The highlighted suffix distinguishes a specific physical example when no individual factory number exists.
Contribute
