Indy Racing League Gets A Make Over
Codemasters confirmed that its US racing game previously known as Indy Racing League will be published under the sport’s new name “IndyCar Series.” In keeping with the recent developments in the sport, the revised title reflects the announcement by the Indy Racing League, the sanctioning body for the sport, that the championship will be known as the IndyCar Series. The term “Indy” is recognized throughout the world because of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race (the Indy 500) and its association with the fast, low-slung, rear-engine, open-wheel cars that race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The IndyCar Series is a descendant of a 92-year sporting tradition, dating back to the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911. Codemasters’ official game, IndyCar Series, is blisteringly fast, nerve-shatteringly intense, pure professional racing and features ultra-close pack racing, with up to 33 cars racing on track. Gameplay requires total focus to handle the incredible overtaking maneuvers at speeds well over 220mph. IndyCar Series delivers a full racing season, which includes the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race (Indy 500), the greatest spectacle in US racing. IndyCar Series is due this spring for PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox video game system from Microsoft and PC, and set to be the most accessible, exciting and entertaining open-wheel racing game designed.
