Picked up mostly on the appeal of its graphics. Played with a steering wheel controller, which eventually broke. Oddly enough the mechanics of this were realistic enough that it was probably my first taste of what driving a real car might be like. It also more realistically modeled the mechanics of “drifting” than something like Mario Kart, well enough that I took what I learned and was able to drift in go-karts (and subsequently got in a tiny bit of trouble for it).
