Why it's on our shelf

We’re linking to Jake Gordon’s original racer rather than reopening the old locally modified fork. The classic scaling road still makes a short drive feel lively: acceleration, steering, and the speed display responded in our desktop Chrome check. The page also exposes resolution and draw-distance controls. Browser autoplay blocked the initial audio request, but driving worked; click the game before playing. This is a technical demo, not a full racing campaign.
