Overview

Andretti Racing is a 3D car racing game developed by both High Score Entertainment and Stormfront Studios (Company) (with the Saturn version aided by Press Start Inc.) and published by EA Sports (Company) for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn in late 1996, with a Windows PC release in late 1997.

A sequel to both studios' earlier Genesis (Platform) game Mario Andretti Racing (Game), Andretti Racing has players racing 16 fictional road tracks in either indy cars or stock cars with a mix of fictional and real drivers. It is endorsed by the Andretti family, with video clips and direct involvement from Mario Andretti (Person) and his sons, Michael and Jeff.

It is often seen as a precursor to EA Sports's NASCAR (Franchise) series, with both studios returning for NASCAR 98 (Game).
