Description
IndyCar Racing is
Papyrus' second racing game, four years after the release of
Indianapolis 500. With an official license, all the real track names and designs are available (eight in total), with authentic sponsors and logos. Other features include multiple TV-type replays, a comprehensive garage and setup routine and breakaway parts when making contact with other cars. This is a pure open-wheel simulation, based on the American races, with realistic car handling and room for racing techniques based on grip, ideal racing lines, and throttle-to-brake interaction.

Trivia
Development
Road surface textures were added during development when the team noticed that
Geoff Crammond had used the technique in
World Circuit (1992). The game originally had eight tracks, but seven more were added in an expansion pack, and the Indianapolis track was available through another add-on after the proper licensing was secured.
Sales
About 300,000 units were sold worldwide.
