This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Mario Andretti Racing is a formula one racing game developed by Stormfront Studios and High Score Productions and published by Electronic Arts for the Sega Mega Drive. It is sponsored by Mario Andretti and should not be confused with Andretti Racing, a later racing game for the Sega Saturn.

History

In the US this game was released twice, once in a traditional plastic "clamshell" case, and again in cardboard packaging. The latter release is far less common than the former, and sports a traditional rectangular US Genesis cartridge with regular Genesis "red stripes" branding. Every other game on record released by Electronic Arts in this region has been stored within their proprietary "square with yellow tab" cartridge design.
