BATW Ambassador Mark Jemison wins the checkered flag for taking the beans around the track!
| Hello race fans, and welcome to the Foster's Australian Grand Prix in beautiful Melbourne! Ask any Formula One race fan Down Under which race is THE party of the year, and you'll soon discover that this is the place to be. Held over a number of days at the end of February / beginning of March, the Australian Grand Prix attracts thousands of race fanatics from all over the world. Personally, the beans have never understood the "sport" in driving around in circles, but they do salute anyone who can do so at 180 miles an hour and walk away from it at the end of the day... |

The race track itself has been incorporated into the city, and indeed uses parts of public roads, which give a whole new meaning to the question: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "To get the $@ out of the way!!!" |
| Of course, crashes are a risky part of the game - not everyone is going to cross that finish line with a mint condition car, now are they? So the beans felt it was necessary to show you what happened when driver Jarno Trulli slammed into the wall. The moral of the story? Seat belts. | ![]() |

When it's all said and done, someone does win, and in today's race, you can see that the beans have earned the checkered flag, a kiss from a pretty Foster's model, and a chance to defend their title in Monaco next summer. "Hey, Black Beans - you've just won the Australian Grand Prix - What are you going to do next?" "I'm going to Disneyland!"
