What are the car rollers used for? It maxes out at 112 mph but they could have made it max out at 155 mph, a standard top car speed.

It even includes rollers, even though they seem to have become redundant


Originally the cars race along walled tracks with the rollers acting as additional "wheels" sort of, but now they're just there for show.
