STUNT CAR RACER

摘要

Modem Formula One facilities are phenomenally safe. Run off the track and you usually have a Disneyland car park's worth of asphalt in which to make your way back onto the course. Compare that to 1989's Stunt Car Racer, where straying beyond track limits on the rollercoaster-like elevated circuits would see you plunging a minimum of 50 feet and ending up embedded in the dirt like a wayward javelin. The two things have more in common than you would think, though. Stunt Car Racer was the brainchild of Geoff Crammond, better known as the human scientific calculator behind the Grand Prix series of F1 simulators that started in the 1990s. Stunt Car Racer is what happens when hardcore physics nerds let their hair down: an utterly ludicrous racing game with extremely accurately modelled suspension. These guys know how to party.
