A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Last Hope is anything but tiny. A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. That is only half the story. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That long chain of experiments is part of why racing still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
