Wizardworks Unleashes 'Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars, For The PC.
High-Speeds, Plus Dirt Tracks Combine For Adrenaline-Pumping Gaming Experience.
Los Angeles, CA, May 11, 2000 - Unleashing the rocket-like power of Sprint Cars onto the PC, WizardWorks, a division of Infogrames, Inc., introduces Dirt Tracking Racing: Sprint Cars. The follow-up to Dirt Track Racing, 1999's award winning hit, Dirt Tracking Racing: Sprint Cars features the alcohol-burning, loud-as-thunder, driving of its real-life counterparts as players slew the dirt and mud of 20 different tracks.
"The original Dirt Track Racing was extremely well received by both the hardcore and casual gaming audience, and garnered several 'Editor's Choice' and 'Best Driving Game' awards," said Paul Rinde, senior vice president of WizardWorks. "Our next installment, Dirt Tracking Racing: Sprint Cars brings a completely new level of excitement by adding the raw power and excitement of ultra-fast sprint car racing."
Sprint Cars are easily identified by the big "wings" located on the back of each car. The wings prevent the cars from flipping due to their combination of light weight and powerful 720 - 800 horsepower engines. Achieving speeds in excess of 180 mph, players careen around 20 different tracks, making Dirt Tracking Racing: Sprint Cars the closest simulation to the real thing available.
Additional features include:
Race at the local, regional and national levels where you can earn virtual prize money and sponsorships.
20 exciting and detailed race tracks.
Realistic action with skidding, dust effects and vehicle damage.
Multiple replay modes.
Five different view perspectives, including two diverse in-car glance angles.
Car configuration interface with varying tire pressure, suspension, etc.
Aggressively change racing techniques and tactics as grooves develop on the tracks creating dynamic racing lines.
Race arcade-style to full simulation, with all the bone-jarring, action-packed slipping, sliding and chaotic racing of the real thing.
Advanced car physics allow for adjustable levels difficulty and handling.
Multiplayer capabilities built-in, and Gamespy(r) functionality for online gaming.
Developed by Ratbag, Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars will be available in Fall 2000 for a suggested retail price of $19.99, or through secure transactions online at http://www.gtstore.com/.
