Overview
Newman-Haas Indy Car Featuring Nigel Mansell (JP: Nigel Mansell Indy Car) is a racing game based on the 1994 Indy Car circuit in the US and Australia and is endorsed by both UK Indy Car/Formula 1 driver Nigel Mansell and the Newman-Haas racing team. It is the spiritual sequel to Nigel Mansell's World Championship.
The game uses a first-person cockpit perspective for its races, and sprite scaling for the actual racing. The driving action is depicted on the bottom half of the screen, while the top half is taken up by a HUD used to display information such as the car's status, location on the track and the player's lap times. The player can choose to run a qualifying lap before starting a course, and may also practice the course to their heart's content.
The game was released on both the Super Nintendo and Genesis in late 1994.
