But then I had THIS hilarious idea.
I wrote this in the three hours between getting out of the office and the submission deadline. It's not going to win any award for best game (although it might potentially win one for fastest time from conception to completed implementation) but I think the joke is solid enough to score well in the humor category.
But copy paste did the job as well. Tires blew out on lap 42. Never again.

Am i dead? 10/10
The game itself is pretty monotonous, but I guess that's to be expected given the subject matter. This game reminds me of Desert Bus, or one of those all-white paintings you see go for millions of dollars: A combination of satire, deconstruction of the artform, and a heaping helping of "my four year old could have done that"
In case it wasn't clear, I liked the game.
I am the CHAMPION!!!
```
f = () => {
doCommand('pit');
doCommand('refuel');
doCommand('tires');
doCommand('drive');
doCommand('left')
}
setInterval(f, 100)
```
I actually had a lot of fun playing this game, even if I didn't play it the way it was intended. Nice one!!
Also the showHelp function is unimplemented which I find somewhat amusing. I struggled with entering the pit when I first played it actually, I think that's because I turned again without realising it. Also this game starts lagging A LOT when you actually make it far, I had to go into the dom and delete some stuff.
