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.
