Ok points are

Wolfman 25pts
Craig C 8pts
Mickthe hammer 1 pt

For CraigC all your answers were right apart from Pat Pending for most wins - Wolfman's answer is fully correct

The only one left to get is 13) here I am looking for two cartoons, but they are on a racing theme made by Hanna Barbera, so perhaps I should not have called them spin-offs as such, but two racing cartoons, where there were a number of competitors which were Hanna Barbera characters (and as I said Yogi Bear was in both off them)

[H&J]

13. Yogi's Space Race and Wake, Rattle and Roll

13. Yogi's Space Race and Wake, Rattle and Roll

I will give you 1.5 pts for that answer H&J as the cartoons were Yogi's Space Race & Fender Bender 500 - Wake, Rattle & Roll had cartton segments, one of which was Fender Bender 500.

Yogi Space Race: An intergalactic version of Wacky Races, with Yogi Bear, Jabberjaw, Huckleberry Hound and several new characters in racing competitions.

Here is a full list of competitors

Yogi Bear and Scare Bear: While Yogi remains unchanged save for the change in setting, Boo Boo does not appear. Instead, his partner is Scare Bear, a small bear who is afraid of almost everything, like Dick Dastardly's Zilly. Yogi and Scare are a racing team at Yogi's Space Race and members of the Galaxy Goof-Ups.

Huckleberry Hound and Quack-Up: Another racing team, Quack-Up is the crazy and clumsy pilot of the team while Huck just rests at the top of their ship. They are also members of the Galaxy Goof-Ups.

Jabberjaw and Buford: Another racing team. Jabberjaw is still on his search for respect from his original series. His partner is Buford, from The Buford Files, where he's the lazy pet dog of two kids who solve mysteries in Fenokee County. Their race ship contains a track on which Buford runs to increase speed, which is seldom used since it's hard to keep him awake. Jabberjaw was once seen running on it during the Saturn 500.

Nugget Nose, Wendy and Rita: The only racing team in the race that's a trio instead of a duo. They all are characters from The Galloping Ghost, where Wendy and Rita work at Fuddy's Dude Ranch and Nugget Nose is a gold-obsessed ghost who's jealous about the girls. His nose looks like a nugget (hence the name).

Captain Good/Phantom Phink and Clean Kat/Sinister Sludge: To the eyes of the other characters, Captain Good is the personification of good sportsmanship and fights for everything right, while he's actually Phantom Phink, a space racer who uses all possible sorts of cheating like Dick Dastardly, except that he actually wins some races, crossing the finish line either as Captain Good or as Phantom Phink. The duo can transform themselves, and their car, at the touch of a button. Captain Good looks like a blonde muscleman while Phink is a skinny man with a big black beard. Although Good/Phink never tricks people into believing they are seeing both of them at the same time and Phink never shows up for the start of any race, nobody suspects they're one and the same.
