Championship seasons

• If there is a tie between two or more cars for the most laps led, the car which finished the race in the highest position is awarded the point.
• Cars which crash or retire late in a race, and are still in the top 12 at the end, are still classified and awarded the appropriate number of points.

Crashes

Criticisms of the crash "model"

• Unlike in Indianapolis 500: The Simulation, in which opponents could crash at any point on the track - and in various ways (understeering, oversteering, sliding, or even veering into walls on straights) - it quickly became obvious that there were specific points on each track at which opponents would crash; moreover, these incidents would always be very similar in style. Most common was the standard "partial spin", with the rear of the car sliding out; apparent loss of traction on exiting slow corners, causing rather unrealistic slow drifts into walls or grass run-off areas, were also notable.

  .

• Similarly, the amount of damage caused to cars by these accidents was often minimal or non-existent. A fast car crashing at Turn 5 at Long Beach might make contact with the opposite wall with its right rear wheel, potentially causing suspension damage; slower cars, however, tended to nestle on this wall or even land short. On wide tracks (such as Cleveland

  ) or those with large grass run-off areas (such as Portland

  ), cars would generally end up stranded and undamaged in an area where, realistically, it should be possible to recover to the racing line from.

• The relatively unspectacular nature of crash incidents compared to Indianapolis 500: The Simulation is partly related to the lower speeds at most circuits. Even at high-speed ovals, however, crashed cars tended to land safely off the racing line - often "sticking" to the outside wall even at sharply-banked ovals. In Indianapolis 500: The Simulation, wreckage would often travel a long way both forwards and across the track, creating a significant danger for following cars and more realistically reflecting the behaviour of cars which have lost control at high speed. Multiple pile-ups were a common feature of Indianapolis 500: The Simulation, whereas most incidents in IndyCar Racing are single-car.

• Another factor reducing the likelihood of multi-car crashes in IndyCar Racing is the almost immediate removal of wreckage from the track. In Indianapolis 500: The Simulation, wreckage would not begin to be cleared until two full laps had been run under yellow-flag conditions; thereafter, except in the case of very large crashes, one car per lap would be removed. This meant that even under caution conditions, cars could still hit wreckage and prolong the incident. In IndyCar Racing, however, a crashed car is removed from the track a few seconds after coming to rest, although the yellow-flag caution period always lasts for at least 2 laps (depending on the length of the circuit).

• The behaviour of other opponents immediately after a yellow flag comes out is not entirely plausible: slowing down from racing speed to "caution speed" seems to happen too quickly, and cars will often be able to stop completely on the track when the racing line is blocked, only resuming again when the wreckage is removed.

Controls

• SET CONTROLS allows the selection of keyboard or joystick (including driving wheels and yokes) for controlling the car, and the keys or joystick buttons used to accelerate, brake, change gear and reverse.
• CALIBRATE JOYSTICK brings up a standard calibration

   screen for the X- and Y-axes of the input device.
• For gear shifting, either AUTO-SHIFTING or MANUAL SHIFTING could be selected.
• Likewise, either AUTO-BRAKING or MANUAL BRAKING were available.
• Two steering styles were available: while joystick and keyboard users were advised by the manual to employ NON-LINEAR STEERING, the option of LINEAR STEERING was available, being more appropriate for wheel or yoke users.

Realism

• RACE LENGTH is expressed as a percentage of the full race distance as defined in the data file for each track. Any length between 1% and 100% of full distance can be chosen.
• YELLOW FLAGS can be turned on or deactivated. Under NO YELLOW FLAG conditions, cars will continue to race at full speed when a crash occurs.
• CAR DAMAGE determines whether the player's car can be damaged by contact with walls, fences, other cars or similar. The game is more sensitive than Indianapolis 500: The Simulation in respect of contact, especially with walls; even light contact at relatively slow speeds, especially if it is at an angle, can cause tyre damage. Deflation of one front tyre renders the car more difficult to drive, but recovery to the pit-lane should be possible; damage to a rear wheel, or more than one tyre, will prove terminal. Very heavy or high-speed contact with walls or other cars can cause tyres to fly off altogether, and also results in a blown engine.
• WEATHER can be determined by the player (CONSTANT WEATHER) or by the simulation (RANDOM WEATHER). Temperature, wind speed, wind direction and rain are the variables that can be changed, as follows:
  • Temperature: between 50°F (10°C) and 120°F (49°C), in intervals of 1°F (0.55°C)
  • Wind speed: between 0 mi/h and 30 mi/h, in intervals of 1 mi/h
  • Wind direction: any of the eight cardinal and ordinal directions
    Cardinal direction
    The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, east, south, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, E, S, W.

 can be selected, in intervals of 1 gallon. Fuel load has a significant effect on lap times and the car's handling.

• TYRES

For each tyre, both the compound and the pressure can be changed. Soft, medium, hard or rain (deeply-grooved) tyres are available. Tyre pressure can vary between 26 and 51 PSI, in increments of 1 PSI. Additionally, the stagger (a measurement of the bias on the left- or right-hand side of the car) is adjustable from -1 inch (left side higher) to +1 inch in increments of one-thousandth of an inch.

• WINGS

The car's aerodynamics can be adjusted significantly. Both the front and the rear wings can be set at angles of between 3 and 18 degrees, in intervals of 1/100 of a degree. Steeper angles create greater drag and inhibit speed on straights, but provide better cornering ability.

• GEARBOX

The gear ratios for each of the six gears can be calibrated in tenths.

• Turbocharger: this determines the amount and potency of the fuel/air mixture that is sent into the cylinders of the engine. A higher turbocharger setting improves the car's acceleration performance but reduces fuel efficiency.

Chassis and Engines

Opposition drivers

, the following details of each driver could be scrolled through: driver name, home city, country, car number, chassis and engine. A picture of the car would rotate at the same time.

Menu selection "OPTIONS"/"REALISM"/"OPPONENTS" allowed adjustment of the maximum number of opponents at each track - from none to 32 - and their relative strength. The latter was expressed as a percentage, from 75% to 125% (default value was 100%). Each car was assigned a minimum and a maximum engine power value (notionally equivalent to brake horsepower

Horsepower

), between which their performance could vary from race to race; this was controlled by a random variable within the game. Each car's values, as defined in the CARS93.DAT data file and the accompanying DRIVERS.TXT file, were based on the "opponent strength" percentage being 100%. If the player changed this, for example, to 75%, every car's set of minimum and maximum values would be multiplied by 0.75; the random variability from race to race would still apply within those limits.

By editing the DRIVERS.TXT file in the CARS93 directory, the player could change opponents' names, locations, car numbers, chassis/engine designations, the chassis and engine names and the minimum and maximum engine power values. This could alter gameplay radically.

Tracks

The game originally featured eight tracks (idenitifed in bold in the table below). An expansion pack was later released containing a further seven tracks; these were all subsequently made available online by fans. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was later released as another add-on.

Details below such as track lengths and names are those used in the game at the time of its release. The "Rain?" column indicates whether or not wet practice, qualifying or race sessions would randomly occur if the "random weather" option was selected from the OPTIONS menu. (Oval and tri-oval circuits do not hold races during wet weather; the game reflects this by never permitting rain at such circuits, even if the "random weather" variable was activated.)

Tracks shown in bold were supplied with the original version of the game. Championship seasons run on computers where the expansion packs were not installed therefore ran in this order: Long Beach, Milwaukee, Portland, Toronto, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nazareth, Laguna Seca.
