Thank you for solving the mystery the name change of Sunday Drivers to Crash City was prompted by legal reasons.

Another legal thing in the 1980s many Car Wars veterans know was "Car Wars" used to be owned by Texas Instruments. The company released a Car Wars video game for its TI-99/4A computer.

In honor of that video game and the 40th anniversary of Car Wars, a Car Wars arena should be released inspired by the configuration of the arena used in the TI-99/4A video game. Dropped weapons, especially heavy-duty versions, would be very effective in that arena's narrow corridors. The widths of the corridors should be increased to make them more survivable when using Car Wars 4E or Car Wars 6E.
