Description

IndyCar® Series 2005 will be the fastest real-world multiplayer experience available on console platforms. Featuring all the tracks and teams from the IndyCar® Series, It's all about working your way to the front of the pack. With help from your spotter and mirrors, you'll have to pick your line and your moves to use your opponents to get you to the top, while not allowing them to do the same to you. With up to 33 advanced AI opponents, or 10 human ones- there'll be a lot of brainpower working against you, so you'll have to drive by the seat of your pants, but race with your head... But help is at hand: new masterclass, taught by 2003 IndyCar® Series Bombardier and Autosport Rookie of the Year, Dan Wheldon, will help you learn the strategies and tactics required to tweak your car, work the draft and make cautions and the other drivers work for you, not the other way round...
