Gamers and NASCAR fans are coming together with the latest venture with EA’s Real Racing 3 franchise. EA is teaming up with NASCAR, and the partnership will incorporate an experience surrounding the upcoming Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway on September 12.
Players will be able to choose a team and race alongside some of the NASCAR greats (Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch), in the hopes of becoming a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion.
Cars that players will get to choose from will include real world sponsors and paint schemes from Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, Richard Childress Racing, Roush Fenway Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing and Team Penske.
Those who play the latest update of the game — even street racers and pros — will get to learn about actual racing skills such as drafting, slingshot passing and navigating around a pack of cars (in a 43-car field, to be exact).
Real Racing 3 can be downloaded for free at the App Store, Google Play and Amazon apps.
