Hi,

Just bought CGW and there is an add about INDY RACING 2000. It's made
by Infogrames and it's officially licensed by Indianapolis Speedway
and Indy Racing League. The add is very short on details but it seem
to be a "simulation" not an arcade game. It even include 9 tracks for
the Sprinter/F2000 cars.
The website is www.indyracing2000.com but it is not up presently. As
anyone have some other facts about this game? The three screenshots
looks good to me.

Yeah, OK - more wishful thinking without any substantiation from
Papyrus, but they've got to have *some* plans after NASCAR 4,
And the N4 Craftsman Truck Pack,
And NASCAR Legends 2,
I guess that puts us in 2001/2002 :(...

Why would Montoya be on the cover for an Indy racing title
anyway? He is part of CART not the IRL.
I guess Incite Magazine is just not 'incite'ful about
racing. Or am I missing something.

The way his season is going I wonder if he will still be in
CART when the title ships.

Ganassi Racing (Montoya's team) are doing Indy this year.  It'll be
interesting to see how well the CART teams do.  I'll actually watch the
race this year (for the first time since the original IRL Indy).

Well Robbie Gordon almost won it the year he ran it, so my Money would be
on the CART teams who are running Indy this year.  Ganassi also has a much
better team then Team Gordon will ever be.  Hell Robbie was screwed due to
the team not managing fuel on the last stint.

The IRL guys are going to be wondering how come these guys are so damn
fast.

  I would hope the CART boys do well, but unless most of the team is
IRL experienced, they will be operating at a disadvantage.  Many of the
teams have been taking the same engines and chassis and tires to Indy
now for 5 years.  That is a-lot of onsite experience the Gannassi team
just doesn't have.  Sure they were there before, in the 'Good Ol Days'
but the two vehicles are so different, what they used back then just
doesn't seem to be relavent to me.  
  I DO know that a former Winston Cup Nascar teamboss is heading Chip's
IRL run.  (interesting combo.)
  Here's my forecast...
Vasser and Montoya qualify about 4th and 6th.  The IRL hotshoes run away
early but pitstops and getting a few laps in brings the CART boys up to
near the front.  Meanwhile Al Unser Jr. is just about to go a lap down.
But the leaders start bre
aking.  Vasser calls for a wing adjustment but gets a round of Wedge
instead, and Montoya turns off at the new F1 Infield.  One by one the
IRLegulars break and fade until  Al Unser Jr. picks up his family's 8th
Indy 500 win.
copythis down somewheres and just see how close I get.

Robbie Gordon got so damned fast by having IRL regular Greg Ray set up
his car for him -- Gordon's team was co-owned by John Menard (who was
also either a co-owner or the primary sponsor of Gordon's CART
operation), and Ray was Menard's full-time IRL driver.  Gordon's own
attempts at setting up his own IRL chassis weren't even good enough to
get him a decent qualifying run, so he went to one of Ray's backup
cars, which he placed well in the field, and then almost won the race.

Vasser and Montoya have been fast in testing, but there's a LOT of
talent in the IRL, and I seriously doubt that Montoya and Vasser will
be able to dominate Indy the way Penske did in '94.

Aha, that explains why he was on the cover.
I know the Ganassi boys will be at Indy this year (and I
hope they do well) I just thought it was strange to have a
CART driver (I don't consider either Montoya or Vasser IRL
drivers) in an article for an IRL based game.
Could it be (shock) that there are no IRL drivers with
enough 'consumer appeal' to appear on the cover of Incite?

What were his impressions of the game?


1. New Indy 500 Race Time, New Name for IndyCar Series and New Qualifying Rules

2. A Awesome New NASCAR Racing 2 & IndyCar Racing 2 Web Page Coming Soon!!!!!!

3. Race Driver -> BAD -> what about the IndyCar game by Codemasters?

4. Indycar Racing Computer Game

5. Info on Thrustmaster T2 steering/pedal package for IndyCar/NASCAR racing games wanted.

6. New IRC Channel For IndyCar Racing And Auto Racing

7. New Racing game from Sierra: Viper Racing

8. New Indycar game by Paradigm???

9. (off Toppic) Lan racing with the Grand Prix Racing and the Nascar Racing PC games
