This game fails WP:GNG because there is no significant coverage in multiple secondary reliable sources. I tried my best to search through the game magazine archives (even with the alternative ABC Sports Indy Racing: Road to the Indianapolis 500 title), but I only found a promotional short press release/announcement paragraph in PC Action.

- Delete Fails GNG. There's a possibility that unknown offline sourcing exists, but we cannot assume such exists at this time. -- ferret ( talk) 17:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Was doing some due diligence when closing this discussion and the curiosity got the better of me... Reviews in PC Powerplay, PC Games, and PC Player (much shorter than the others) should be sufficient for the GNG. And here's the PC Action promo blurb mentioned in the nom. Kind of wild to keep this American game based on coverage entirely outside the US but here we are. Courtesy ping @ Ferret and Jovanmilic97 czar 02:09, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- @ Czar I have no idea how you found PCG and Powerplay reviews since even just searching for "Indy Racing" on archive.org game magazines section just returns me results for Indy Racing 2000 game, good job! Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 09:05, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I am willing to withdraw this with new sources. I have also managed to find
Arizona Republic coverage at
[1]. I will also
WP:BOLD move the article to
Indy Racing (1998 video game), considering "Indy Racing" seems to be the most common name for this title, and all sources are from 1998, which leads me to believe it's not a 1997 video game like the article says.
