EA's Press Release

Andretti Racing delivers a lifetime of Andretti family driving experience to the racing enthusiast. It is the only head-to-head PC racing game on the market that offers both Indy car and Stock car competition. Andretti Racing features 16 different tracks, including four officially licensed world-class Street and Oval tracks. The remaining 12 tracks were designed with help by the Andrettis to recreate the best and most exciting types of tracks in the racing world. Andretti Racing includes never-before-seen interviews with racing legend Mario Andretti and his sons Michael and Jeff Andretti. In a television-like presentation, auto racing broadcast team Derek Daly and Bob Jenkins provide up-to-the-minute race reports from the starting grid to the checkered flag finish, and James Brown stands by with pre-race introductions. Designed for novices and experts alike, Andretti Racing can be fun and fiercely competitive. Serious racing strategists will grab the checkered flag by mastering the ability to fine-tune the cars prior to and throughout the race during pit stops. Andretti Racing supports a wide array of 3-D accelerator boards from companies such as 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. and NVIDIA(TM) Corporation allowing the game to be played with enhanced graphics and speed.
