* ''Videogame/Interstate76'': The ''Nitro Pack'' expansion had one mission where Taurus had to race against Drinky, a clown in an armed VW Beetle. It was considered to be [[ThatOneMission one of the worst missions in the entire expansion pack]] due to the game not counting a lap if one of the tires of the car Taurus was driving went off the track but placing no such restrictions on his opponent. While both vehicles were armed, shooting Taurus's opponent also failed the mission (and given how ''annoying'' Drinky's taunting was, the player would definitely want to shoot him).

In RealLife, the racing of any kind of vehicle is very dangerous, and many people have died or suffered serious injury while doing so. Things have gotten better, but it is still a potentially deadly sport truly only kept in the reins of safety by [[BadassDriver the skill of the drivers]]. However, there is also the fact that in real life, except for off-road rallies and endurance races, most races simply involve going from point A to point B, or driving in a circle for 500 or so laps. Because of this, writers tend to spice things up a bit. The result is a Wacky Race, a race so improbable, so outrageous, so dangerous, that it makes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7amgj1DpSA Pikes Peak]] look like a Sunday drive.
