I just saw this and figured out I'm a year late to the party...

Is there an opening for Safety Car!?!

Car of Choice: Colani Street Ray

I've trained for years for this position...

There'll be another one starting in March 2018.
It adds some relish to the Grand Prix to stop you from falling asleep during the race!
Google "Badger GP" and you'll be able to register.

I have a team now. Please welcome....

Underage Drivers!!!

I also have a lineup, garaunteed its probably sloppy but it will do.

Raikkonen, Perez, Wherlein,

Force India, Redbull, and Haas, because America.


I'm not sure I should be sharing this but I have no idea what I'm doing yet 

[Carnut]

Welcome to your team!
It's a bit late though; there's only one race left...
And everything will change for next year - new prices etc based on how they all fared this year.
You have until mid March to decide who to have!

[Carnut]

Chance - you need to join the Friends' League on the Badger site to figure with the AutoPuzzles league in the final race!
Its code is 3619363.

[ChanceHuncha]

Joined!

I'm watching the Abu Dhabi GP - I just learned something. One car had a flashing red light at the rear, which apparently means its electric drive boost is at a low ebb. This tells a following driver that he's got a chance to overtake.

I'm simply lost for words. Talk about dumbing-down of a sport. Why not have a LED readout on the back, like those motorway signs, so that the team can give following competitors some other useful information - "my tyres are worn" or "my brakes are playing up".

Presumably the light has been forced on everyone in order to increase safety , the following car needs to know if the car ahead is in trouble. I don't know, Can't think of another plausible explanation. Next thing they'll  be stopping the race if one car has a problem in case the poor lad cries about it not being fair.

I give up.

I accomplished what I set out to do: smack-dab, middle of the pack result for the season. 

[ChanceHuncha]

I'll keep that back seat niiiiiice and warm for ya!

In case some of you have not yet seen this year's cars with the "halo" safety cage, here's the 2018 Ferrari. I don't want to see unnecessary fatalities in sport any more than the next man, so it is what it is. Not going to win beauty prizes though, is it? Such is progress.

[ChanceHuncha]

I love when race cars come with big toilet seats attatched to the front.

It also looks like someone called up the Escort Cosworth designers and took some advice.

[Otto Puzzell]

If anyone would like to have another go at fantasy F1 this year, The AutoPuzzles league is active on Badger F1's Fantasy GP site.

The code to join the league is 3619363

[Carnut]

I'll be in.
I've been waiting for Badger to email me to tell me it's time to spend $80 million but since they haven't I'll have to have a look at their website..  Might leave me a little short of ready cash though!

[Otto Puzzell]

Spending time is here. I've selected my cars and drivers.

This year's goal for Z Ram W: Don't do worse than last year. 

[Carnut]

Teams and Drivers selected.
$74.5 million spent!

[el_monty]

This year's goal for Z Ram W: Don't do worse than last year. 

I'll have the same goal for Cars Going Fast, which means "don't be the last". Hope I can manage! 

[Stephen M]

This is the year the Flying Burrow Owls make the podium. Expect the unexpected!

[Carnut]

Well the new season has started but not altogether auspiciously.
How exactly did Vettel manage to take the lead from Hamilton?  Certainly not by any racing manouvre...
Call this motor racing?  They're going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg if they don't do something about such ridiculous thins..
