Gaming News - January 2003
New York, NY (January 31, 2003) - Codemasters confirmed that its US
racing game previously known as Indy Racing League will be published under the
sports 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.
From Codemasters:
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 PlayStation2 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.
