So, perusing around the car I'm restoring at work... not gonna say which, but it ends with a 7, I found this old unused sticker underneath one of the floors. It appears to be a driver registration sticker from back in the early 70's.

It asks for driver name, blood type, most recent tetanus shot, and something else that is obscured with dirt (I'm afraid to clean it) in both German, and English.

Does anyone have any idea what this sticker was used for back then? This thing definitely pre-dates me by a couple (many) years. My best guess is that it was given to a driver to put on his helmet as he went through tech inspection, like they did in the SCCA back in the 80's.

For a compact spare tire which was required by the sanctioning body. The ACO
If I'm thinking of the same "xx7" car as you.
It also had to have a jack.
Don't forget it had centerlock wheels.
Imagine the lug wrench !!!!

And the track in question may be an old one in Germany named Solitude........ in Stuttgart

And now I'm officially an outcast.

No - it was another sanctioning body requirement for another reason, although those were all required too. In fact that was my 1st guess with Rick P., but I was wrong too!

The spare & toolkit had their own mount/area different than what I'm talking about, & this one was little used! It may surprise many on here! It did me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

So let's see if young Ethan can answer it, before we start throwing out more guesses please.

Especially since he's serving an internship at Porsche Racing, so he can check around.

That XX7 lug wrench was huge! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

And I'm assuming for this answer that it is not a 907 that Ethan is talking about! ;-)
