Official Video Game of the Indy
Racing League Ships to Retail Outlets Nationwide

Codemaster Title  Features Authentic Handling, Adjusted Difficulty
Levels

New York – June 24, 2003 –
Codemasters, a global interactive entertainment software publisher, has
confirmed that IndyCar Series, the official video game of the U.S. open-wheel
Indy Racing League, has shipped for the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft.
The Xbox® version features enhanced graphics and allows for four player support,
and is priced competitively at a $39.99 MSRP.

The game delivers the entire Indy Racing season, including "The Greatest
Spectacle in Racing," the Indy 500. Players experience lightning-paced action,
authentic and intuitive handling, spectacular collisions and a dynamically
adjusted level of difficulty to keep the challenges on the circuits coming heavy
and fast. Gamers continuously have to overtake other vehicles on the track by
using drafting techniques, defend their position, maximize grip in the groove
and switch fuel settings to capitalize on speed or economy.

The game’s complex AI system allows opposing drivers to exhibit the same racing
tactics as real drivers in the Indy Racing League. The AI system also gages the
ability of the player and dynamically adjusts the level of the opposing drivers’
skills accordingly. This creates a unique racing opportunity because AI drivers
make strategic decisions, rather than following a scripted path.

Indy Racing events are broadcast to over 313 million homes across 66 countries,
and features car speeds exceeding 220 mph. The IndyCar Series video game
captures the invigorating, ultra-close racing as experienced only by the
professional drivers of the Indy Racing League. Set to be the most stimulating
and entertaining open-wheel racing game ever designed, IndyCar Series is the
only game that features the official cars, tracks, teams and drivers, all in
U.S. TV-style presentation.

IndyCar Series is also available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system, and a PC version will be available later this summer. For additional
