Well, people got a sick look when they crashed into the basement wall.  
The course was similar to a real autocross except that  when you started 
heading back toward the finish line you had to control the car in a flip 
(backwards) style.  The driver was required to stand in one location.  
Novice drivers could follow their cars around the course.
