A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Supercar Wash: A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: 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. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
