Scary Car Driving Simulator

A strange little side quest

Even a quick game like Scary Car Driving Simulator sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
