Hello! Ultimately I don't care what you use this for. It's intended to be 
educational, and perhaps to the oddly minded - a little bit of fun. 
Please hack this, change it and use it in any way you see fit. You acknowledge

your actions. However this code is protected by GNU GPLv3, see the license in the

Cheers!


Background
~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a sim-racer when I'm not coding. Racing games are far more sophisticated than
they used to be. Frankly, retro racing games are a bit naff. But when done in the
command prompt they have a new level of craziness.

Controls
~~~~~~~~
Left Arrow/Right Arrow Steer, Up Arrow accelerates. There are no brakes!
Set the fastest lap times you can!
