IndyCar Racing, followed up two years later by its sequel, IndyCar Racing II, are racing games by Papyrus Design Group. The former was released in 1993 and the latter in 1995.[1] Papyrus previously developed Indianapolis 500: The Simulation, released in 1991.
The original IndyCar Racing features the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a racetrack, but its sequel did not gain the licensing rights to do so.[2]
The game series was intended as a realistic simulation of CART IndyCar Racing, now known as the Champ Car World Series.
