Faster Than Angels

[Ace3000]

In making the disqualified racers, I have created a new variant of the Pilot ID. Here's how it goes, bearing in mind that I will be using Angelus' racers as an example.

The code in full would be ARD889.1.19.194 for Gareth Ardos.

The first part (i.e ARD889.1.19.194) is the first 3 letters of their last name. If their surname is only 2 letters long, then the third letter will be the first letter of their first name. [If, in the case of Sino of EG-X, the pilot goes by a one-name alias, the first 3 letters of that name will be used]

The second part (i.e ARD889.1.19.194) is a random 3 digit number.

The third part (i.e ARD889.1.19.194) is their ranking. 0 is for Lead pilots, 1 is for second pilots, and 2 is for other rankings.

The fourth part (i.e ARD889.1.19.194) is their race number.

The fifth and final part (i.e ARD889.1.19.194) is the team code. The team code is a 3 digit number that takes 3 letters from their name and finds the digital root of the number value of those letters (i.e A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.) For instance, Gareth is from Angelus Research and Development, their letters are ARD, which the number values are 1, 18, and 4. The digital root takes two (and greater) digit numbers and adds the individual numbers together until a single digit number is obtained. Single digit numbers have no effect. For instance, the digital root of 1 is 1, and the digital root of 4 is 4. For 18, a two digit number, the digital root would be 18->1+8=9. Therefore, ARD's code would be 194.

What do you think?

EDIT: also, allow me to take this moment to say that the Crinale racers, Leon Turner and Lucia Scarlatti are having their numbers swapped. 1 being that 13 is Crinale's Lead Pilot number (see the Omega Harbour part), and 2, 13 is apparently a lucky number in Italy. So Lucia is now #13, and Leon is now #7
