IndyCar Series is a racing simulator developed by Brain in a Jar and published by Codemasters.

The gameplay features racing on oval circuits with an IndyCar single-seater car.

Players choose one team and compete in one of three modes (Quick Races, Championship, or Test Drive) around the official oval tracks from the 2002 IndyCar calendar.

The game features 26 drivers from the 2002 Indy Racing League.

[28][29][30] Eurogamer's Roman Jennings described the PlayStation 2 version not as open-wheel racing game as Formula One 2003 nor arcade like Burnout 2, but as a well made racing sim game.
