Big Parking

A strange little side quest

Between one round of Big Parking and the next, this is worth knowing: A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
