Codemasters, a UK-based videogame publishing giant, today announced that its upcoming title, IndyCar Series, will feature Penske Racing, the most successful Indy car racing team in history.

Since 1971, Penske Racing has become synonymous with Indy car racing, compiling a record 114 race wins, 140 pole positions and 11 National Championships. Penske Racing’s rich heritage is best known for its record in the Indianapolis 500-Mile race. In 28 starts, the team has visited victory lane at the Brickyard a record 12 times.

Overall thirteen drivers have won races for Penske Racing in Indy car racing competition. The list is a who’s who in motorsports: Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan, Al Unser Jr. & Sr., Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, Gil de Ferran, Helio Castroneves, Mark Donohue, Tom Sneva, Paul Tracy and Gary Bettenhausen.

“We are excited to make our official IndyCar Series gaming debut in Codemasters’ new game,” said Tim Cindric, President of Penske Racing, Inc. “Today’s Indy Racing League on-track competition is the best in the world. Being represented in this project is extremely important to Penske Racing because it is such a true-to-life video game.”

“With the inclusion of Penske, one of the greatest racing teams, IndyCar Series will be the most authentic and complete game in its class,” said Sebastien Soulier, President of Codemasters USA. “Penske Racing, coupled with the other official Indy Racing League teams, enhances the depth of the tension-packed game and adds to the realism.”
