I was very skeptical of this game when I first heard about it, but now that it is getting closer to release I'm nothing but excited. They have really changed my opinion over the past few months.

Just so I get this straight, will their be like an IndyCar season or something similar? I've been wanting that for a long time and I just don't want to get my hopes up haha.

So then the rumor that I heard of Chevy not being in the game MUST be false considering Indy Car consists of strictly Chevy and Honda.

Chevy and Honda motors. Dallara chassis. They could just not specify the engine in the car and only worry about the chassis.

I'm not even worried about the motors all that much. I've just been waiting for a legit IndyCar game (or game featuring IndyCar in this case) since I got into the sport, which was like 2001. Never got the chance to play the IndyCar Series game that came out around 2005.

This is awesome. Please tell me it is going to include the full 33 car field for the Indy 500? I will be really disappointed if it's like a 15 car field. Including all the drivers gets my hopes up for the full 33.
