Basically someone's hooked up a 2d physics library to a genetic algorithm to evolve little "cars" that race across a random 2d landscape. It's really quite a neat demonstration of the efficacy of evolution in a simply toy environment.

I plugged my best effort (evolved from the defaults) into a zero mutations, 2 population, default track setup. There are still some tiny variables in there, you get different results in different tries. I was only able to get these tries to a ~900 best. I couldn't repeat my 1135.3 at 2:02.
Are you running with the 'default' track option? In that case, each track is random so the peak fitness will be different.
