10 Miglia: BASIC 10 liner racing for the ZX Spectrum

10 Miglia is a BASIC car racing/driving game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer.
It is my first entry to the 2021 edition of the BASIC 10 Liner Contest, PUR-80 category. This means that the program is made up of 10 lines of BASIC code (max 80 characters per logical line).
