A strange little side quest
Giraffes Dice Race may feel immediate, but the ideas around racing have been evolving for a very long time. Formula 1 introduced pit-lane speed limits during the 1994 season as safety concerns grew around increasingly fast cars and busier pit lanes. A second detail makes the picture even better: Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. So a round of Giraffes Dice Race is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer racing timeline.
