IndyCar 2.0 and Indy 500

Given the state of affairs in Indycar racing, will Papyrus' Indycar Racing 2.0 include the Indy 500? will the points count in the championship? Will I have to fight for one of the 8 at-large starting positions? Is Tony George coming out with his own simulation for IRL? Will he pay people to play it? Seriously, though, I'm looking for an answer to the first question. Thanks in advance... Carlos Romero

Given the state of affairs in Indycar racing, will Papyrus' Indycar Racing 2.0 include the Indy 500? <<< Currently, no. We have had licensing difficulties obtaining Indianapolis for IndyCar Racing II. Rick Genter Technical Lead, IndyCar Racing II/NASCAR Racing for Macintosh/Windows Papyrus Design Group, Inc.

-- I also have a question , or should that be comment. Recently here in Tokyo I have seen a Sega coin-op video game called 'Indy 500' and carrying the 'officially licensed by Indianapolis Motor Speedway' tag. Having read about the problems Papyrus had with use, or not, of Daytona Raceway, I wonder if this will mean no indianapolis track with Indycar 2. Anyone know anymore ? Robert York

Now since the Indy track does not belong to Indycar(CART) and the licensing deal Papyrus is with Indycar, there a pretty strong chance that the Indy 500 will not be included. Once again that is only my opinion no facts to back it up.
