its not really font but more like a logo, though Futura extra bold condensed is pretty close, then make it italic

Then squint through your left eye at 33.5 degrees and it's indistinguishable biggrin

Based on the sticker threads last year the "24" font is a custom font owned by the ACO and they got the legal threats out last year to people using it.

They also have the rights to use the "24" and "24hr du Mans" in relation to bleach and cleaning products - or something equally bazzar.
