Play Mario Andretti Racing Online

Mario Andretti Racing came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Stormfront Studios. It was one of the few racing games of that era to feature a real world driver's name and likeness, which gave it a certain weight among the more fantastical racers on the platform.

You control a selection of open wheel race cars, from sprint cars to Indy cars, across a handful of real world tracks. The main goal is to win races across different series, managing your fuel and tire wear over long distances. The handling changes drastically between car types; sprint cars slide wildly on dirt, demanding careful throttle control, while the Indy cars offer much more precise grip on paved ovals. The game moves at a solid pace, though the longer races require real concentration to avoid mistakes. It feels like a genuine test of your ability to adapt to different machines and track conditions.
