Michael Andretti's Indy Car Challenge (マイケル・アンドレッティ インディーカーチャレンジ)[2] is an arcade-style racing video game that is sponsored by Michael Andretti.[3] It was released exclusively for the SNES in North America and Japan.
Summary
The game features Champ Car (now called IndyCar) action.[3] There are many modes of play including single race, season mode, and the option to disable the sound and/or music. One or two players can join in on the action.
Each track features its own hints in a section called "Michael's Advice.[4]" The game is roughly based on the 1994 CART World Series season and the viewpoint is from a third-person perspective.[3] It is possible for the expert player to achieve a speed of 251 miles per hour or 404 kilometres per hour at the level that is supposed to represent the 1994 Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.[5] Lap times in this game are noticeably slower than in real life. For example, an experienced player can do a lap at the Indianapolis race in almost 43 seconds.[5] Meanwhile, the lap record for the Indianapolis 500 was set at 38 seconds by former American IndyCar driver Eddie Cheever during the 1996 Indianapolis 500.
