A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Hard Wheels Winter have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers.

The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
