A detailed IndyCar racing simulation built around the Indianapolis 500
The briefing
Indianapolis 500: The Simulation recreates the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with 3D polygon graphics and a field of 33 cars. Players select a car and adjust key setup options, including wing down-force, tire pressures, wheel stagger, and turbo output.
Before racing, drivers qualify over four laps, with starting position determined by their average performance. Race distances range from 10 or 30 laps to 60 laps and the full 200-lap event. Shorter formats omit car damage and the full-course yellow system, which can lead to repeated collisions and large pile-ups.
