Copy That (Pole to Paddock)

Copy That is one of the free daily games on Pole to Paddock, a Formula 1 site that also carries stats, fantasy tools and several other F1 puzzles. The game takes its material from real team radio, the messages drivers and race engineers trade during a session, and turns one of them into a guessing puzzle each day.

The day's clip appears as a written transcript under a Radio Transmission header. Any driver or team name in it is blacked out, so the words themselves are the first clue: a complaint about tyres, a thank-you to the crew at the end of a season, a remark about traffic or strategy. You type a driver's name into the box below and pick from the suggestions. You have four guesses.

A wrong guess is not wasted. The first one fills in the year of the message, the second the team and the third the race, and each one also unlocks an audio preview that grows a few seconds longer with every miss, so the driver's own voice becomes a clue. When the puzzle is over, right or wrong, you can play the whole recording.

Where most daily F1 games ask you to find a driver from a table of stats, Copy That is about what drivers say on the radio, so it suits fans who follow onboard footage and race broadcasts closely. If you miss a day, you can catch up on the previous day's clip after finishing today's. It plays in the browser with no sign-up, keeps a streak and lets you share your result. The site around the game carries ads.
