Having jumped into the game BATracer (batracer.com), which is an F1 racing sim like Hattrick, I figured I should chronicle things. Fair warning, I am a newbie, and I'll be lucky to score any championship points in my first season. Here are all the teams in the "F1 2007" series, which I have joined.

By the time I get signed up, the top teams are already filled (there's two cars per team), No McClaren, Renault, Ferrari available, and some of the lower folks have been taken too, Spyker and Sauber were filled.
I signed on with Panasonic Toyota: It's my job to take a somewhat crap frame and make it work.
