Throughout their history, racing video games have sought to put players behind the wheel. Some modern games do just that, simulating the driving experience of racing leagues such as Formula One and NASCAR in nearly perfect detail. Other games give players the chance to drive their dream cars, both on tracks and on everyday streets. Racing Video Games explores the history of racing games, from their humble beginnings to the lifelike representations of the sport gamers enjoy on their consoles today. This title features informative sidebars and infographics, exciting photographs, a glossary, and an index. SportsZone is an imprint of Abdo Publishing Company, a division of ABDO.
