A strange little side quest
Put Pico Sim Date next to the history of racing and a few unexpected connections appear. Formula 1 introduced pit-lane speed limits during the 1994 season as safety concerns grew around increasingly fast cars and busier pit lanes. The same trail leads to another fact: 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. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Pico Sim Date feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
