Get ready for in-your-windshield risky gameplay that only the Simulation mode can deliver. You'll race the same number of laps as the real racers do in a car with tires that wear and a fuel level that drops with every lap. You can choose from 25 real CART drivers or create your own but remember that each car and driver's performance will reflect their real-life abilities. (In other words the top drivers vie for the podium and get the fastest cars.) During the race your pit crew will be telling you when you need fuel new tires or front and rear wing adjustments . Once you do stop for a pit you'll be able to adjust your car's set-up. Oh yeah and when you collide into other objects be prepared for real damage -- your car is made up of 20 separate pieces which can fly off after extreme impact. If extensive damage occurs and you can't make it into the pit to fix the car you're history.
