Indianapolis 500: The Simulation attempts to be a full simulation of the race, with 33 cars and appropriate Indy car "feel". While racing, it only offers a first-person perspective, but the game offers a mode as well. Indy 500 offers the ability to realistically set up the car, and any changes made to the car directly affect how it handles.

It was a landmark release for racing sims, clearly distinguishing the genre from racers for the first time.
