Description from the packaging.

Push the limits of racing reality.
Capture all the speed, thrills, and competition of racing a real Indy car with CART Precision Racing, an officially licensed simulation of Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART). Designed and tested by real CART drivers and race engineers, Precision Racing offers car and track models so realistic that now you can train like the pros.

Engage in authentic CART action.
Race open-wheel cars- modeled to six degrees freedom of movement- for all the excitement of real CART racing. Advanced vehicle and independent tire physics capture the responsive handling of a 900-horsepower Indy car.

Experience true-to-life driver views.
Out-the-window views pan realistically as you pivot to look into the apex of each turn. Stunning 3-D graphics give you the most realistic re-creation of every track and racing line.

Analyze your race performance.
Improve lap times with telemetry software derived from Pi Research, the world leader in race car data analysis. Each car features a photo-realistic cockpit that includes an accurately modeled Pi LCD instrument display.

Hone your technique at the Racing School.
Learn how to drive at the limit from three-time racing champion Bobby Rahal. View real-world race footage and multimedia demonstrations, then use your knowledge to master the 1997 CART tracks.

Strap in tight for white-knuckle excitement.

  • Compete against CART cars controlled by exacting artificial intelligence. Rolling starts, daring passes, and fully animated pit stops are all realistically modeled.
