A strange little side quest
F1 Drift Racer has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Silverstone hosted the first Formula 1 World Championship round on May 13, 1950. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at F1 Drift Racer feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
