A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Golf Cars Simulator is anything but tiny. Formula 1 introduced pit-lane speed limits during the 1994 season as safety concerns grew around increasingly fast cars and busier pit lanes. That is only half the story. SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. So a round of Golf Cars Simulator is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer racing timeline.
