Maybe you’re not old enough to remember those 1970s Hot Wheels race tracks that had crossing lanes. You’d spend a lifetime (a childhood, really, but what was the difference?) trying to reenact the commercial and have those cars cross intersecting paths at a million blinding miles per second while still grabbing the plastic road and skillfully avoiding collision, when truthfully the triumph was in just staying on the track while, on occasion, trading lanes.

Sitting back and watching the race without having to chase upended cars or losing interest, whichever came first, might not have made a great TV spot, but it was success.
