CART Fury (Arcade)

CART Fury is the game where it does the infamous racing scenes from Driven (the movie based on CART, widely regarded as the loser of the American open-wheel racing wars) better than the movie itself.

Unused Graphics#

An initializing screen from a proof of concept version of the game which was known as CART Racing, possibly as a pitch; note the 1999 copyright year.

Present among the textures for the Skyway track is an unused image of Fred Flintstone sliding off of a dinosaur. This was likely included as a joke given the construction theme of the track.

Four placeholder graphics for the credits, with visible tobacco advertisements on some of the cars. One of the placeholder graphics also includes a Team Penske and Newman-Haas car each; neither teams were featured in the game.

An unused development-related texture.

An early road texture.

Hidden Credit#

At the beginning of the sound program is a hidden composer credit which reveals that the game was also known as CART Champions at some point.

DCS 3.0G CART Champions (c) 2000 Midway Games - DWF.
