Parking games prove that speed is optional; moving a vehicle three meters without touching a cone can generate more tension than a full lap at 300 km/h. That connects nicely with a historical detail: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized by The Strong as the first arcade racing video game, complete with a steering wheel and gear lever. The fastest route is usually the one that feels suspiciously slow just before the apex.
